Gujarat Giants Vs Dabang Delhi K.c. 25 November 2022

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

FT: Gujarat Giants 47-50 Dabang Delhi

It was a late resurgence from the Giants but their defense let them down as they picked up just a solitary tackle point in the whole match. Can you believe it? In a high-scoring encounter, the defense pulling off just a single tackle point acted against Gujarat but credit should go to their raiders for keeping the team in the match until the last minutes of the match.

It was even-stevens in the first half but Ashu Malik took matters into his own hands as his sensational raids helped Delhi to strike back instantly in the second half, inflicting an all-out in the 23rd minute. Another all-out wasn't too far away as Delhi's defense held strong in the 30th minute to tackle Parteek Dahiya, and also took an unassailable lead

The Giants made a few substitutions in the final minutes and the arrival of Mahendra Rajput helped the Giants to pick up crucial raid points. His super raid set the tone for the Giants to inflict an all-out in the 38th minute. The heroics from the Giants' raiders in the dying moments only helped the team to reduce the deficit of the defeat

40' Vijay Malik comes in for the do-or-die raid. He is running the clock out. Mahender Singh Rajput commits himself with an ankle hold but he didn't get any support from Rinku or from the other players. This is the final nail in the coffin

Then it was a Parteek Dahiya show in the last eight minutes as he not helped the Giants to inflict the second all-out but also got his super 10. The concern for Gujarat is their defense as they pulled off just a solitary tackle point in the first half. The raiders from both teams bossed the show in the first 20 minutes.

Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL 2022 match between Gujarat Giants and Dabang Delhi at Gachibowli indoor stadium in Hyderabad.
