Puneri Paltan Vs Bengal Warriors 21 October 2022

FULL TIME! Puneri Paltan 27 - 25 Bengal Warriors

It was a top-quality tactical battle, a complete defensive showdown. It all came down to who would inflict the first all-out of the match to bag home the five points, and Puneri Paltan did just that. Fazel Atrachali and Sombir Shekhar both recorded an High 5 each, which is a rare feat that comes from the same team. On the other hand, Girish Ernak continued his great form and Maninder Singh put in a lot of effort to get past, but Fazel Atrachali seemed to have a perfect plan for him this evening. In the end, it was the Paltans who were good with their chances and they marked their third win in a row.
