2. Pardeep Narwal Star of the Show
Pardeep Narwal led from the front and scored a game-high 19 points that crushed Pune’s title chances. High on confidence after his record-breaking display against Haryana Steelers last night, Narwal put on back-to-back match-winning performances when his team needed them the most.
All 19 of his points were touch points as Pune’s defence failed to come to grips with his incisive movement and clinical raiding. His most crucial raid though was a four-point super raid that swung the game entirely in his team’s favour, while taking the stuffing out of Pune. Narwal peaking at the business end of the season is definitely a positive for the double defending champions and not good news for Bengal, who’ll face them in the second qualifier in Chennai on Thursday.
