In what was a nail-biting encounter, the Puneri Paltan lock horns with Patna Pirates in the third eliminator at the Dome, NSCI in Mumbai. Pune started that match confidently and managed to keep Pardeep Narwal out for the most part of the first half. However, once the Dubki King came back to the mat, he ran a riot on the Patna side. Pardeep who is the only player to score over 300 raid points this season pulled off a miraculous performance to guide his time to an impressive victory. He got decent support from the other raider Monu Goyat. With this, Pune’s campaign in this year’s Pro Kabaddi league comes to an end while Patna will play Bengal Warriors on Thursday evening for a place in the finals.
