Bengal coach B.C. Ramesh will take a lot of positives from the match, especially the performance of his much-maligned defence. Ran Sindh scored 4 points while Vishal Mane scored 2 points along with Abozar Mighani. The first half was a cagey affair with both teams matching each other blow for blow. Jaipur were without the services of Deepak Hooda which meant more responsibilities on Arjun Deshwal in the raiding department.
We are the warriors and you’re gonna hear us ROAR! 🐯

Bengal Warriors beat Jaipur Pink Panthers: Pro Kabaddi PKL 8: The youngster picked points, targeting cover defender Vishal Mane in the
Warriors defence, but didn't get ample support from his teammates. At the other end, Bengal’s Maninder Singh couldn’t produce his usual magic either as Jaipur defenders took a cautious approach. In fact, it was the secondary raiders who excelled in the first half for the Warriors. Sukesh Hegde and Anand V contributed with important raid points. Maninder Singh did however make a late impact and clinched a 2-point raid in the final minute of the half to shift the balance to Bengal.

Bengal got their second ALL OUT in the 7 th minute to make scores 27-14.
Even the usually reliable defenders Sahul Kumar and Sandeep Dhull struggled as Mohammad Nabibakhsh inflicted another ALL OUT with 3 minutes on the clock. The Warriors had a 20-point lead and even Arjun Deshwal’s Super 10 wasn’t enough to help Jaipur make a comeback.
