PKL 12: Super 10s From Bharat, Vijay Help Telugu Titans Reach Eliminator 3
Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium: Telugu Titans secured a hard-fought 37-32 win against their southern rivals, Bengaluru Bulls, in the Mini-Qualifier at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium on Sunday night. Super 10’s from Bharat Hooda and Vijay Malik ensured that their side booked their place in the Eliminator 3. Meanwhile, Alireza Mirzaian’s Super 10 wasn’t enough for the Bulls, but they will get another chance to progress when they take on the in-form Patna Pirates in the Eliminator 2 on Monday.
It was an action-packed start with Vijay Malik and Alireza setting the tone, before Bharat Hooda’s two-point raid gave the Titans a slender lead. The defenders also made their mark with Shubham Shinde and Deepak Sankar exchanging tackles. The Bulls got back on level terms with the score at 6-6 courtesy a tackle from Satyappa Matti and Akash Shinde getting himself on the board.
On a Do-Or-Die Raid, Chetan Sahu managed a two-point raid to regain his team’s advantage, keeping them in a 10-8 lead after the first quarter. Bharat Hooda and Aman extended that lead to four points, before Akash registered a couple of raids, including a Do-Or-Die Raid, to make it a one-point game.
