Match Preview: How will instrumental Maninder Singh and Prapanjan get past rip-roaring U Mumba defense

Bengal Warriors and U Mumba have squared off against each other a total of 13 times across PKL1 and PKL 7 Over the last 5 encounters Bengal Warriors have an Upper hand with 3 wins under their belt and they have won it with smallest of margins. Effect and return on the court when Maninder went out of the court with an injury on the shoulder which was a dislocation, as Maninder is back to play post-injury, question arises if Maninder is fit to play against the most dangerous and attacking defensive unit of the season includes Fazel Atrachalli, Sandeep Narwal, and Surender Singh. If Maninder can fire it will be good for Warriors but If Maninder isn't in the form then it will be beneficial for U Mumba to get through. 

Covers for Bengal are shaky and mistakes have been very prominent by Rinku and Baldev in the last few matches, given this situation Abhishek and Arjun Deswal of Mumba can rollover the covers and enter to Finals? Will Nabibaksh be able to shine out of the defense of Bengal?
When Mumba is good they playout the best but this time they are up against Maninder, Prapanjan, and All-Out savior Sukesh Hegde, will Mumba have a plan against them as this season U Mumba has lacked behind Warriors.
