Four super tackles defined the start of the game as the Bengaluru Bulls' defenders got the better of the Patna Pirates' raiders in what many thought would be a topsy-turvy clash. The Bengaluru Bulls rode on the ability of their defenders - especially Saurabh Nandal and Sunny Sehrawat - to keep the dangerous Devank Dalal and Ayan Lohchab quiet, a release said.
However, this was not to be for too long. Devank and Ayan found their groove as the Patna Pirates inflicted the first all-out of the match on the Bengaluru Bulls courtesy of a tackle by Deepak on Saurabh Nandal.
This gave the three-time PKL champions some much-needed momentum as they began to race away from their opponents. At the end of the first half, the score read 20-13 in favour of the Patna Pirates.
It was in the second half that the Patna Pirates really took the game to their opponents. Within three minutes, they inflicted an all-out on the Bengaluru Bulls, with Sandeep joining his raiding partners Devank and Ayan on the scoring charts. A Super Raid soon followed for Devank, and within five minutes, the Patna Pirates took a lead that would eventually become unassailable.
Another Super 10 soon followed for the young Devank, who made raiding look easy with his performance. The point that got Devank to a seventh Super 10 also inflicted a third all-out on Bengaluru, who continued to look out of sorts as the match came to a close. In the end, Ayan also completed a well-earned Super 10, taking the team's total to more than 50 points, as the Bengaluru Bulls lost by a deficit of 23 points. (ANI)
