FULL TIME!

Jaipur Pink Panthers 38-28 Patna Pirates

Comprehensive! Absolutely comprehensive from the Pink Panthers and they jump to the fourth position in the points table! The Pink Panthers came out all guns blazing and they have gotten the better of the table-toppers. Deepak Hooda notched up a Super 10 while Arjun Deshwal chipped in with 9 points. The defence was good, with Sahul Kumar once again starring with 4 tackle points. 

As for the Pirates, the failure of their raiding trio led to their downfall. Monu Goyat was the top-scorer with 7 points while Prashanth Kumar Rai could manage only 6. Sachin had a poor outing with 3 raid points while the defenders liked out of touch as well. Chiyaneh made far too many errors and allowed the raiders to get away with comfortable points. The Pirates' six-match unbeaten streak is broken but they will be looking to make a strong comeback and bounce back in their next encounter. 

40' In the last raid of the match, Monu Goyat gets a running hand touch on the cover defender to finish the match. 

40' Deepak Hooda picks up a bonus and as soon as he does that, he is tackled as the rest of the defenders pounce on him.

35' Neeraj Kumar steps out of bounds before the tackle is initiated. With three defenders on the mat, the super tackle is on. Arjun Deshwal goes into the lobby after the failed running hand touch attempt on Neeraj Kumar, who loses balance and steps out of bounds. The left corner defender runs around and dashes Deshwal out, but Deshwal did not have a touch before stepping into the lobby which means even the dashing defender is deemed to be out.

With one defender already going out of bounds, there were only three defenders on the mat and the Pirates bag a SUPER TACKLE! Nonetheless, two defenders have to make their way back to the bench. Wow! Plenty of action! The Pink Panthers lose their review.

HALF TIME!

Jaipur Pink Panthers 18-12 Patna Pirates

Right then, a brilliant start for the Pink Panthers in this contest as they have secured a lead over the table-toppers. The defence of both sides, after some early errors, has come to the party. Arjun Deshwal and Deepak Hooda have been instrumental in the raiding department, with both picking up 5 points apiece. As for the Pirates, their raiding trio have not performed upto the expectations in this game and they will certainly be hoping that the raiders step up in the second half. The defence will need to put in a better performance and provide some much needed support to the raiders. A six point deficit for the Pirates and they will be hoping to cover it up in no time. Will the Pink Panthers continue along their merry ways and secure a win or will the Pirates stage a comeback? Stick around to find out!

20' Arjun Deshwal jerks his foot and escapes the ankle hold from Chiyaneh. Another defender comes in for the assist. Two points awarded to the Pink Panthers. 

However, the Pirates review for it. They believe the cover defender's touch came in after the raider had crossed the mid-line. That was not the case and the review is unsuccessful!

Right then, the much-awaited clash between Jaipur Pink Panthers and the Patna Pirates is finally here! While the Pirates sit comfortably atop the points table, the Pink Panthers have dropped out of the top-six after U.P. Yoddha's tied encounter against the Steelers. However, today presents the opportunity to the Pink Panthers to rise above the Thalaivas and be placed fourth with a win. Irrespective of the result, the Pirates will continue being placed first but they will look to continue their 6-match unbeaten streak and further fortify their position at the top of the table. 

For the Pink Panthers, it has been Arjun Deshwal who has done the bulk of the scoring in the raiding department. He has 99 points to his name from 8 games and has been sensational this season. He has been supported well by Deepak Hooda, who has taken up the role of secondary raider. However, one area where the Pink Panthers could struggle is the with the third raider but their defence has made up for it. Sahul Kumar has been good this season and will look to continue his good run in this match as well. 

As for the Pirates, the raiding responsibilities have been shared between their formidable raiding trio. One of them has stepped up whenever needed and have kept the opposition at bay. Mohammadreza Chiyaneh has been magnificent in his debut season and the Iranian is surely one of the future stars in the left corner position. Neeraj Kumar and Sajin C have enjoyed success as well in the defence department and will be looking to contribute significantly in this game as well. 

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022.
