Match 24: Bengal Warriros vs Bengaluru Bulls

In the second half, Pawan Sehrawat continued to single-handedly keep his team in the game - displaying one incredible raid after another and keep the scoreboard ticking over. With the Bengal defense struggling, their raiders also chipped away at the points, ensuring their lead remains.

No one in the Bulls except Pawan showed signs of stepping up and it was on full display when the Bengaluru side was subjected to its second all out after Pawan was brought down by Adarsh in the Warriors' defense six minutes into the second half.

Maninder wasted no time in making the most of Pawan's absence and two minutes later, he picked up four points for his team as he took out Banty and Saurabh Nandal to complete the all out and widened his team's lead to 34-23, which incredibly, still didn't look 100% safe given the form Pawan Sehrawat was in.
