Right then, that's all we have for you from this contest! Join us back tomorrow for two action-packed contests from the last day at the Kanteerava! Until then, this is me, Maanas Upadhyay, bidding you adieu! Good night! 

FULL TIME! Patna Pirates 42 - 60 Bengal Warriors

Bengal Warriors jump to the top of the points table and they are the only team to stay unbeaten! It's been a night that has belonged to the raiders and you definitely wouldn't want to be a defender donning the green jersey today. As many as five raiders have registered Super 10s today and that just shows you how the raiders have dominated proceedings. Super 10s for Maninder, Shrikant and Nitin Kumar while from the Pirates, it's been Sudhakar M and Sachin who got 14 points each. With the raiders doing the bulk of the damage, the defenders weren't needed to do too much. A lot of errors from the defences of both sides but Patna just lost the plot. Patna had a huge deficit to erase initially but failed to do so as the Warriors kept maintaining the lead courtesy of their raiders' multi-pointers. The Warriors inflicted another all out on the Pirates and extended their lead further in the second half as the Pirates failed to be any match for the Warriors tonight. The Warriors now have the highest score registered by any team this season. The Pirates will have some thinking to do before their next match.

HALF TIME! Bengal Warriors 27 - 16 Patna Pirates

Carnage! Absolute carnage at the Kanteerava and it's been the Bengal Warriors who have wreaked havoc! The twenty minutes of play can perhaps be split into two halves, with the first one being played on the defense but the second one being played on the raiding. The Warriors' raiders brought out their A-game! It all started with a four-pointer by Nitin Kumar, following which the Warriors inflicted the all out. Shrikant Jadhav and Maninder Singh joined in on the action as well while the defense made sure that they tackle the crucial raiders. Patna's defense has just not been synchronised today and are giving away points very easily. A healthy lead for the Warriors going into the second half and the Pirates will have their task cut out for them if they want to make a comeback. Which side will finish on top? Stick around to find out!

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League, 2023. The twentieth game of the tournament will witness Bengal Warriors locking horns with the Patna Pirates at the Kanteerava Indoor Stadium, Bengaluru. 

The Bengal Warriors - oh what can we say about that team? The team is a perfect blend of flamboyant youth and experience and have, quite simply, dominated proceedings so far. Their only difficult clash against the Jaipur Pink Panthers ended in a tie but the Warriors will feel they squandered the match away. Their other two wins have come against the Bengaluru Bulls and Tamil Thalaivas. 

Shubham Shinde in the right corner has been prolific to say the least. He has notched up High 5s at will, including a double High 5 in their last encounter. Maninder Singh has been plundering points with ease, all of which is allowing the rest of the team to play their natural game. They are an aggressive outfit and will be aiming to continue their unbeaten streak in the season. 

The Patna Pirates, similarly are undefeated as well! They have won two matches on the trot against the Telugu Titans and a strong-looking Gujarat Giants side. They have some good players in their ranks, including Sachin and Manjeet in raiding and the likes of Neeraj Kumar and Ankit in defense. Overall, they are a well-balanced side and will be hungry to make it a hat-trick of wins here! 

We are in for a cracker of a contest and it promises to go right down to the wire! Sit back, relax and enjoy as I, Maanas Upadhyay, take you through all the live action that unfolds over the course of this contest!
