In the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 Eliminator 1 at the G.M.C. Balayogi Sports Complex on Monday, Patna Pirates defeated Dabang Delhi K.C. 37-35 to secure their Semi-final spot. After a close and thrilling kabaddi match that could have gone either way, Skipper Sachin’s team advanced to the Semi-final 1 with 9 raid points.
The Pirates captain scored two points during the opening raid of the game, giving his team the ideal start. The two teams matched each other well in the first half, and Dabang Delhi K.C. captain Ashu Malik quickly made up. The game was extended by Patna Pirates when Sachin’s four-point raid forced Dabang Delhi K.C. to All-out.
With a Super 10 and a Super Raid in one go, Ashu was also in excellent form. The Patna Pirates’ next raid was tackled by Yogesh, who put them out in an extremely close first half, and it was a second move worth four points in the first twenty minutes of the match. At the start of the second half, Dabang Delhi Cricket Club led by one point thanks to a Super Tackle.
In an attempt to take a commanding lead, Dabang Delhi K.C. began the second half with another Super Raid for Ashu Malik. But Manjeet kept up his support for his captain and with ten minutes remaining, the Patna Pirates made sure that didn’t happen. A mere few points separated the two teams as they competed at their highest levels in a match that was swinging constantly.
In a fiercely contested match, the lead kept switching hands in the last five minutes, but in the end, Patna Pirates emerged victorious. Though Ashu Malik’s team appeared to be winning after two straight Super Tackles, a dramatic late raid by Sachin saw Dabang Delhi K.C. All-out. Subsequently, during the match’s last raid, Manjeet secured the services of Vishal Bhardwaj, guaranteeing the Pirates’ place in the first Semi-final against Puneri Paltan.
