Pro Kabaddi 2022 LIVE Score, Bengal Warriors vs Patna Pirates: PKL 9 Live Updates and Commentary, Pro Kabaddi Match 23

Patna Pirates 26-54 Bengal Warriors

Bengal school Patna Pirates both offensively and defensively. That's one of the most one-sided contests you will see in PKL 9 as Bengal Warriors beat Patna Pirates by 28 points. Enforcing a total of four All Outs, Bengal's 29 raid points were more than Patna's total number of points. While Maninder picked up 12 points, Shrikant got nine to his name as he narrowly missed out on his 'Super 10.' Defensively, Shubham Shinde, Vaibhav Garje, and Girish Ernak held their forte while pouncing on the Patna raiders who looked lackluster. 

Sachin Tanwar was the lone shining light as he collected a total of 12 raid points upfront. Their secondary raider Abdul Insamam picked only two raid points, which speaks volumes about the problem in Patna's raiding department. Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh picked up four tackle points, but the majority came late in the contest when Bengal rested their starting seven and brought on the substitutes. 

With the win, Bengal maintain their spot at the third spot after winning three on the go. Patna, on the other hand, continue to search for their first win as their strategy to bank on their defensive prowess has backfired so far. 

40' FULL TIME! Manoj Gowda crosses the baulk-line and stands near the mid-line. That's it! Patna's agony ends.

It has been a one-way traffic so far with Bengal Warriors having the upper hand so far. Maninder has 8 raid points while Shrikant Jadhav has 6 raid points to his name.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live commentary of today's third and final Triple Panga encounter between Bengal Warriors and Patna Pirates. This is your host Abhishek and I will be your eyes and ears for the contest. The match should start from 09:30 PM IST. 

Starting their campaign with a loss to Haryana Steelers, Bengal Warriors turned the momentum in their favor as they beat Telugu Titans 45-25 and Bengaluru Bulls 42-33 in their next two matches. The quartet of Maninder Singh, Manoj Gowda, Deepak Niwas Hooda, and Shrikant Jadhav have played a crucial part in helping their team cross the 30 point mark in each of the encounters as they picked raid points for fun. 

The complaint last season from the Bengal Warriors fans last season was inability to revive Maninder. However, that has not been the case as Girish Ernak has picked up 13 tackle points from three matches, including two 'High 5s.' Vaibhav Garje and Shubham Shinde have able supported him and that has made life tough for the opposition raiders. 

Patna Pirates, on the other hand, are the only team yet to win a match as they languish at the bottom of the table. Starting their campaign with a 34-34 draw against Puneri Paltan, Patna succumbed to 35-30 and 30-21 defeats to Jaipur Pink Panthers and Telugu Titans respectively. 

Their star performer last season, Mohammadreza Shadloui, was yet to arrive in India for the first two encounters and looked like a pale shadow of his former past in the next match as he picked only two tackle points. Rohit Gulia and Sachin have been entrusted to do the heavy lifting upfront, but they are lacking the cutting edge going forward and are yet to make a considerable impact this season. 

Can Patna Pirates sail their ships through the turbulent weather, or will the Bengal Warriors inflict another crushing defeat on their opponents this season? Let's find out.
