Puneri Paltan bossed the show in the first 20 minutes and have a 9-point lead at the moment. Patna Pirates started slowly, and once their raiders were sent to the bench, Puneri Paltan did the clean-up act at the stroke of half-time to take a 10-point lead

Patna don't have momentum on their side as they have won just a single match in their last seven encounters. In this case, the demons will be acting more than the belief, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if they end up at the wrong side of the result.
