Pro Kabaddi PKL 8: Dabang Delhi K.C beat Patna Pirates: At the interval, Delhi had a 9-point lead with scores 19-10. Pirates showed why experts had called them early season favourites to a playoff spot by clawing their way back into the match. The first 10 minutes after the restart belonged completely to Patna as Sachin and Guman Singh exploited the errors in Delhi defence. The lack of a lethal raider affected Delhi’s attack and they finally succumbed to an ALL in the 10 th minute. Patna had managed to reduce the lead to just one point and were clearly the team with momentum.

But Delhi were in no mood to let this slip. Sandeep Narwal’s 2-point raid opened the lead to 3 points as both teams traded blows. Mohammadreza Shadloui then clawed one back for Patna with a stunning ankle hold on Ashu Malik. Vijay then produced a 3-point Super Raid with 3 minutes remaining to give Delhi a 4-point lead. Patna needed 2 points in their last raid, but Manjeet Chhillar brought out a brilliant diving tackle to help Delhi win the match.
