Patna Pirates Vs Bengaluru Bulls 30 November 2024

FULL-TIME! Patna Pirates 54-29 Bengaluru Bulls

Absolute carnage here in Noida as the Patna Pirates deliver a performance for the ages! A young Pirates side took the struggling Bengaluru Bulls to task, dismantling them with sheer dominance. Devank was once again at his brilliant best, picking up 17 raid points, showing why he wears that green sleeve. And how about Ayan? The young gun added 13 raid points. 

On the defensive end, Shubham Shinde was just brilliant. Seven tackle points, a 100% strike rate to secure a well-deserved High 5. And just when you thought the Pirates were done, they ended with a flourish, inflicting an all-out in the final raid to add 10 points to their tally in the last 60 seconds. This was as clinical as it gets - a 25-point win that cements their spot in the top three.

As for the Bulls, it was another night of despair. That’s now eight consecutive losses for them, and the cracks are widening. Pardeep Narwal and Jai Bhagwan chipped in with a few raid points, but the spark wasn’t there. Their defense? Let’s just say it was a charitable affair. Lucky Kumar and Nitin Rawal managed seven tackle points between them, but as a unit, they gifted away points like it was a festival.

For the Pirates, it’s celebration time. For the Bulls, it’s back to the drawing board - again. That’s all from this enthralling encounter. This is Meeth Agrawal signing off. Don’t go anywhere, though; switch over and catch Jaipur Pink Panthers taking on Telugu Titans. Until next time!

HALF-TIME! Patna Pirates 22-12 Bengaluru Bulls

What a first half we've witnessed here! The Patna Pirates have stamped their authority on this game, leaving the Bengaluru Bulls gasping for answers. Ayan has been the star of the show so far, weaving through the Bulls' defense with remarkable ease to rack up a Super 10 before the halftime whistle. And just when you thought it couldn't get worse for Bengaluru, Devank decided to join the party. After a quiet start, he unleashed a flurry of raids in the final minutes to inflict an all-out and push the Pirates into a commanding lead.

As for the Bulls, the woes just don't seem to end. Pardeep Narwal and Jai Bhagwan have tried to share the raiding duties, but the spark we've come to expect from a team with such pedigree is missing. And their defense? Let's just say they’ve been more generous than a festive Santa Claus, gifting Patna easy points and showing little resistance.

The question now: can Bengaluru script a miraculous turnaround, or will the Pirates sail through to another emphatic win? The second half promises drama, and I, for one, can't wait to see what unfolds! Stay with us for more.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of Pro Kabaddi League 2024. This is Meeth Agrawal bringing you the updates of all the live action from the Noida Indoor Stadium, where the Patna Pirates are set to clash with the Bengaluru Bulls. It’s a contest between two teams at contrasting ends of the table, and while the stakes may be higher for the Pirates, the Bulls will be desperate to turn their fortunes around.

The Pirates, currently seventh in the standings, have had a mixed bag of a season. Seven wins, five losses, and a draw reflect their rollercoaster journey. Their most recent outing, a nail-biting 39-39 draw against Dabang Delhi KC, must have left a bitter aftertaste. A match that was theirs for the taking slipped away in the dying moments. And yet, you can’t take your eyes off Devank. The man with the green sleeve has been nothing short of a revelation this season, leading the raiding charts with an incredible 164 raid points. Can he once again be the beacon of hope for Patna tonight?

Now, let’s talk about the Bulls. Oh, the Bulls! A team steeped in history, a team that has produced legends, finds itself at rock bottom, just two wins from 14 games and a woeful seven-match losing streak. They’ve been gasping for air, unable to find that spark, that moment of magic to turn their season around. But, as they say, kabaddi is a game of comebacks. Can Bengaluru rise like a phoenix tonight?

Both teams have everything to play for, albeit for very different reasons. For Patna, a win tonight could breathe life into their playoff hopes. For Bengaluru, it’s about pride. 

Stay tuned, folks! This promises to be an exciting encounter.
