FULL TIME! Bengaluru Bulls 57 - 44 Patna Pirates

Phew! What a match we have just witnessed—a high-scoring thriller, to say the least. One for the stat pundits: with over 100 points scored, this encounter between the Bengaluru Bulls and Patna Pirates is now the highest-scoring game in the history of the PKL. The Bulls have managed to get a comprehensive win over their opposition and are seemingly ready for the playoffs. Bharat was once again the main protagonist for the Bengaluru Bulls, where he recorded 20 raid points today, and he received valuable support from Sachin Narwal, Neeraj Narwal, and captain Mahender Singh, which helped script this big win. For the Pirates, they didn't seem to have that killer instinct from the start of this match, but it was during the latter stages that they showed their resistance to come close. In the end, the Bulls take all five points as they prepare for their final league match before the PKL Season 9 playoffs.
