In a packed indoor arena in New Delhi, the Bengal Warriorz pulled off a dramatic 7‑5 win over the Telugu Titans in the tie‑breaker of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12. The match, held on October 15, saw the Warriors finish the game with a gritty raid by Devank to seal the victory.
The Warriors got off to a solid start. As soon as the Titans put a point on the board with a raid by Vijay Malik, Devank answered with a quick raid that brought the score to 1‑1. Both sides traded points in the first few minutes, trading solid defences and quick raids.
When the game reached a 8‑10 score in the Titans’ favour, Devank sparked a Super Raid that earned three crucial points. The Warriors went ahead 8‑11 and kept the pressure on. After a Strategic Time‑Out, the Warriors’ momentum snapped the game wide open, taking an all‑out that pushed them ahead by six points.
By the time the half‑time whistle blew, the Warriors were comfortably ahead, 28‑17. The first half had already seen two big all‑outs from the Bengal side, and every raid from their defence was sharp and effective.
The second half began when the Titans grabbed the first point via Ajit Pawar’s tackle. The Warriors responded quickly, with Prateek’s defence holding off the Titans’ pressure. Bharat Hooda tied the boards for the Titans, giving him his 14th Super 10 of the season. When the Titans pulled back to a close 32‑26, Shubham Shinde’s smart tackle on Himanshu Narwal kept the score tight.
In the pin‑point moments before the final Strategic Time‑Out on the second half, the Tigers were only two points behind, 34‑31. After the break, the Warriors extended their lead to five points, but the Titans rallied, led by Vijay Malik’s two back‑to‑back raids and a strong tackle from Aman. The Titans’ heroics kept the score in reach.
With just over two minutes to play, the Titans launched an all‑out that found the Warriors lead at 45‑45 and sent the match into a tie‑breaker. The Warriors struck first in the tie‑breaker with a precise tackle and followed up with a raid to go ahead 2‑0. The Titans answered, and the scores kept leveling: 3‑3 after Manjeet’s raid, 5‑5 after Chetan Sahu’s confident raid.
Everything was on the line for Devank. In a high‑stakes raid, he broke through the Titans’ defence and put his team ahead, finishing the tie‑breaker 7‑5. The victory gave the Bengal Warriorz a crucial win in PKL Season 12 and a showcase of resilience and skill.
