Noida: A clinical performance from Puneri Paltan saw them dominate Bengal Warriorz 51-34 in a one-sided encounter in Match 73 of PKL 11 at the Noida Indoor Stadium here.

Puneri Paltan showcased their raiding prowess through Mohit Goyat, Akash Shinde and Pankaj Mohit as they inflicted four All-Outs over the course of the match on Sunday night.

After an initial blip, Puneri Paltan’s raiders ensured a solid start for the team as they dominated the team with a seven-point lead in the first 10 minutes itself.

Most of these points were down to Mohit Goyat and Akash Shinde as they quickly inflicted an All-Out on Bengal Warriorz seven minutes into the game.

A number of errors defined the performance of Bengal Warriorz in the first half as Puneri Paltan capitalised on every moment.

In defence, Abinesh Nadarajan was the main man for the BC Ramesh-coached side, but Sushil Kambrekar got Abinesh and Sanket Sawant in a two-point raid, keeping his team in the hunt.

It was not enough though with a second All-Out inflicted on Bengal Warriorz as the score read 24-11 in favour of Puneri Paltan at the end of the first half.

Skipper Pankaj Mohite made an excellent start to the second half to continue the dominance of Puneri Paltan. A jump ended in a Super Raid as Hem Raj, Pranay Rane and Akash Chavhan had to leave the mat.

Defender Mohit then inflicted a third All-Out on Bengal Warriorz with 15 minutes left in the second half, effectively ending any chance of a comeback for Bengal Warriorz.

Nitin Kumar quietly went about his business as well despite the lack of support from his team. Thirty minutes into the game, Puneri Paltan were 20 points ahead of their opponents Bengal Warriorz, who had just three tackle points till then.

Praveen Thakur successfully completed a Super Tackle in a rare bright moment for the Warriorz, but again, with six minutes remaining in the game, Bengal Warriorz were All-Out for a fourth time.

Nitin Kumar scored his Super 10 with a very impressive Super Raid that got Aryavardhan Navale, Mohit Goyat and defender Mohit, and also inflicted an All-Out on Puneri Paltan. But the match eventually finished with a 17-point lead in favour of Puneri Paltan.
