Bottom-placed Bengal Warriors will hope to revive their sagging fortunes when they launch their home leg campaign in the fourth edition of Pro Kabaddi at the Netaji Indoor Stadium here tomorrow.

The last year's semifinalists have suffered six defeats from eight matches to remain at the bottom of the eight-team table with 11 points.

The Kolkata franchise must now win all their remainder six matches to keep their hopes alive to make the semifinals, coach Pratap Shetty said.

"We still have a chance, it's difficult but we hope to turn it around at home. It's about taking one match at a time," Shetty said.
 

Shetty blamed it on their defence for their poor performance this season.

Bengal Warriors' only win this season has been against Dabang Delhi KC in the second match as since then they have suffered five successive defeats followed by a 34-all tie Puneri Paltan.

The city team will face Jaipur Pink Panthers to begin their home leg tomorrow.
