FULL TIME! At the end of Turn 4, Odisha Juggernauts 51-45 Rajasthan Warriors

Well, we are certainly seeing a shift in the game. From being an attack-centric game, it has been the defense that is winning the teams matches on multiple occasions. As was the case in this match as well, with both sides dominating where defense is concerned with plenty of Dream Runs. However, at the end of it, courtesy of a terrific showing in the second innings by the Juggernauts, the Warriors find themselves point-less and have crashed to their sixth consecutive defeat in this tournament. Has certainly been one to forget for them.

7' Just at the stroke of the buzzer, Nilesh Jadhav puts in a sky dive and it is Sengar who has to make his way back to the bench! And the Juggernauts coach is absolutely pumped! He did not want a single point to be conceded to the Warriors.

If the Warriors survive for the rest of the contest, their account will open as the margin of defeat will be three points, which will fetch them a point.

6' A sky dive from Dinesh Naik sends back Suresh Sawant and that should be the game there surely. Two and a half minutes are not left on the clock so there is no chance for the Warriors to get in any more points.

Odisha Juggernauts 48-45 Rajasthan Warriors

6' Just three seconds before he got another couple of points, a sky dive from the Wazir, Jagannath Murmu, tags the last remaining defender, Akshay Ganpule.

Odisha Juggernauts 45-45 Rajasthan Warriors

5' DREAM RUN! And Akshay has done it! A vital couple of points have been added to the Warriors' tally and this game is going right down the wire!

5' A sky dive from Gowtham MK on Abhijit Patil as he is caught napping. However, the Warriors have taken a review. There certainly was one and perhaps, the review was just taken to buy some time for this fellow defender to catch his breath.

Odisha Juggernauts 42-43 Rajasthan Warriors

4' A pole dive from Nilesh Jadhav and it is Yalla Satish who is dismissed! The Juggernauts closing in on the deficit now!

3' A couple of sky dives from Gowtham MK and Mahesha result in the remaining defenders, Dhananjoy Singh and Bhuneshwar Sahu having to make their way back to the bench. The Warriors need a Dream Run here at any cost!

2' Gets followed in the cross lane and in the end, Bharat finds himself in the lobby without any part of his body on the mat. SELF OUT!

1' The Juggernauts have opted for a review as they believe there was a touch. However, it has not been granted by the umpires and the TV umpire reckons the same. NOT OUT!

At the end of Turn 3: Odisha Juggernauts 27-43 Rajasthan Warriors

A sixteen point lead is what the Warriors have going into the final Turn and it will take some miraculous defending from them if they are to win this contest. Terrific from the Juggernauts to make a comeback into this contest, securing three defense bonuses despite Dipesh More not being in the best of states. Whew! The Warriors will need some terrific defending to get their first win under their belt while the Juggernauts will be looking to move even further up in the table.

6' Just a couple of seconds before Dipesh More equalled Durvesh Salunke's record, he trips and tumbles. Clutches his foot yet again as the injury seems to have returned. A comfortable touch for Sengar.

Odisha Juggernauts 27-43 Rajasthan Warriors

5' DREAM RUN! The skipper has taken over and he has ensured that they have gotten in the defense bonus. Well, well, well, he has lasted another minute there and that has resulted in as many as four points more points to be added to the Juggernauts' tally apart from the initial two!

Odisha Juggernauts 27-41 Rajasthan Warriors

5' A sky dive from Hrushikesh sends back the dangerous Dilip but one might reckon that he has done his job for his side.

3' A review has been taken by the Warriors as Nikhil B had put in a sky dive to get a touch on Murmu. The umpires had adjudged that as a foul but there was no direction change there! Review successful!

Odisha Juggernauts 21-38 Rajasthan Warriors

Batch 2 of the Juggernauts make their way on the mat and the Warriors have opted for the Power Play straightaway!

2' Hrushikesh puts in a dive, which does not qualify as a sky dive, to send back Dinesh Naik.

Turn 3 is underway and Batch 4 of the Juggernauts is on the court.

HALF TIME! At the end of Turn 2: Odisha Juggernauts 21-27 Rajasthan Warriors

Well, this is quite a rare sight ain't it? The Warriors are leading in a contest at the end of the second innings and it has been a different side that has turned up today! After facing plenty of problems in the defense, they have tirelessly worked on that and have perhaps turned it into their strength here! The defense bonus was garnered 3 times in that turn and that, perhaps, is what sets the two sides apart!

7' Some much needed points of the Juggernauts as Nilesh Jadhav puts in a pole dive to send back Mohammed Taseen.

Batch 4 of the Warriors has been sent in with less than a minute to go.

6' Another DREAM RUN as Santra has lasted for another thirty seconds. Just agonisingly close to getting yet another thirty seconds in, he gets tagged by Sengar with a dive.

3' DREAM RUN! Defense bonus for the Warriors as Akshay Ganpule evades the attackers and ends up lasting for over two and a half minutes! And almost immediately after, Nilesh Jadhav puts in a sky dive to dismiss him!

Odisha Juggernauts 12-23 Rajasthan Warriors

2' A sky dive from Suraj Lande sends back Yalla Satish in quick time. And it is Suraj once again, who puts in a dive, which is not enough to qualify as a sky dive, to get the better of Abhijit Patil.

At the end of Turn 1: Odisha Juggernauts 4-21 Rajasthan Warriors

Five sky dives from the Warriors and they will be pleased that they have been able to extract so many bonus points. However, the fact remains that their attackers have been pretty sluggish and slow, allowing another couple of Dream Runs to be scored against them. They do have a 19-point lead going into the second turn but will need to defend their hearts out to keep out the Juggernauts, one of the better sides in the tournament.

7' A sky dive from Bharat Kumar just near the central lane gets the better of Milind Chavrekar. The last remaining defender survives till the buzzer goes.

6' A review has been taken as the Warriors attacker was pretty confident that there was a touch which was not awarded. Well, there was a touch on the defender's ankle there indeed and the review is successful! A sky dive is awarded and Sengar was right! Aditya makes his way back to the bench.

Odisha Juggernauts 4-18 Rajasthan Warriors

Odisha Juggernauts 0-9 Rajasthan Warriors

2' Mahajar Jamadar continues his dream run in this tournament as skipper Dipesh More tumbles and falls to the ground. Oh dear, he is being carried off the field. Seems to have twisted his ankle. Not good signs for the Juggernauts.

Odisha Juggernauts 0-7 Rajasthan Warriors

1' A running touch from birthday boy Hrushikesh sends back Jagannath Murmu, with the latter losing his footing there. A sky dive from Mahajar Jamadar and that will result in Dilip having to make his way back to the bench.
