The Pro Kabaddi League: Nitin Kumar and Maninder Singh scored 14 and 10 points respectively as the Bengal Warriorz put on a clinical display to defeat the Bengaluru Bulls 40-29 in a Season 11 match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) at the GMCB Indoor Stadium at Gachibowli here on Saturday. The final match of the Hyderabad leg was dominated by an exceptional raiding performance from Nitin Kumar and Maninder Singh and the duo led the Warriorz to a comprehensive win.
The Bengal Warriorz took a three-point lead heading into the halftime break, largely thanks to the outstanding raiding performance of Maninder Singh, who accumulated 8 points. The mighty raider was particularly effective for the Bengal Warriorz in the latter stages of the half, securing multiple successful raids, including a crucial two-point raid that sent both Nitin Rawal and Pardeep Narwal to the bench.
For the Bengaluru Bulls, their points were fairly well distributed across their raiders, with Akshit leading their scoring with four points, followed by Ajinkya Pawar with three points. Pardeep Narwal had a quiet half with just two points before being substituted for Lucky Kumar. The score eventually read 15-12 in favour of the Bengal Warriorz.
