Will try to register my 100th super10 this season: Pardeep Narwal
Narwal became the first player to record 80 Super 10s in PKL during U.P. Yoddhas' match against Haryana Steelers in Ahmedabad.
Narwal became the first player to record 80 Super 10s in PKL during U.P. Yoddhas' match against Haryana Steelers in Ahmedabad.
With Bengaluru securing a spot in the playoff, the last spot will now be closely fought between UP Yoddha and Telugu Titans.
Steelers' Vikas Kandola thrilled the audience with his Super 10 as the home side produced a successful tackle in the dying moments of the game to bag the nail-biter.
The first half was completely dominated by the Gujarat side, which came as no surprise considering the winless run of Thalaivas.
Despite the loss, Patna moved a place ahead in the team points-table to be at the ninth spot with 39 points, keeping their playoffs hopes alive.
Bengal's dominance wasn't limited to their raids, their aggressive approach in defence paid rich dividends.
U Mumba will take positives from the match despite the defeat with Arjun Deshwal impressing with a career-best tally of 14 raid points (15 in total).
Ajith Kumar got to his Super 10 in the final minutes and ensured the Thalaivas lost with a margin less than seven points but coach E Bhaskaran will be left with a lot to wonder as his side suffered a fifth straight loss.
The high-scoring contest belonged to the raiders with Kandola and Maninder Singh of Bengal Warriors securing Super 10s, which is awarded to raiders who score 10 or more raid points, as the defenders struggled to get a stranglehold of the match.
Shrikant Jadhav (7 points) and surprise-inclusion in the team, Surender Gill (8 points), were the stars for Yoddha as they climbed to 8th in the league standings.
