That's it from the coverage, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off

FT: Bengaluru Bulls 25- 45 Jaipur Pink Panthers

A lot was riding on this match but the Panthers decimated the Bulls and got a win by a massive margin. It was one of the rock-solid defensive performances from the Panthers as they picked up 22 tackle points, while Arjun Deshwal notched up another super 10.

There was never a contest at any time as the Panthers continued to stamp their authority. Bharat has been tackled non-stop by the Panthers' defenders and there wasn't any support coming from Vikas Kandola and Neeraj Narwal either. The defense proved to be the difference tonight as the Bulls has picked up just six tackle points to the Panthers' 22

Ajith has been tackled in the do-or-die raid but that doesn't matter as the Panthers picked up a statement win

HT: Jaipur Pink Panthers 25-10 Bengaluru Bulls

Ankush bossed the show in the first half as he picked up three crucial tackle points, while the raiders too stepped in at a vital time as the Panthers inflicted two all-outs in the first 20 minutes.

Never rule them out yet as Bharat likes to fire in the second half. He picked up a super raid in the first half but got pinned by Jaipur's corner defenders on three occasions. Are we going to see another miraculous fightback from the Bulls? or the Panthers continue to stamp their authority in the second half? Let's find out shortly

Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL 2022 match between Bengaluru Bulls and Jaipur Pink Panthers. To take you through everything that unfolds in this contest this is myself, Pragadeesh

Both teams aren't really faltering at the moment so this could prove to be a decisive clash for the second spot in this tournament. This is surely a battle between star raiders Arjun Deshwal and Bharat Hooda. Both players have enough talent to win matches single-handedly, and Bharat's second-half performance against Dabang Delhi was a big evidence of it
