Pro Kabaddi: Patna beat Bengal

Leaders Patna Pirates beat Bengal Warriors 32-27 to maintain their unbeaten record in the Season 3 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi here on Monday.

The match seemed to be tilting the winners way in the first half after they made up for the early deficit to lead 17-11 at half-time.

Patna Pirates have now tallied 38 points in eight matches while Bengal Warriors with one consolation point have 27 points in as many matches.

After a tense five minutes initially in the second half Bengal Warriors were well paced at 22-15 but a blunder by their otherwise safe bet Pardeep Narwal who sent the crowd in raptures with a super raid, literally brought their rivals back in the match. Bengal Warriors managed to come close to 24-25 when Rohit Kumar back from the success in the South Asian Games again swung the match with a two-point raid. The hosts managed to hold their nerves to rake out a win.
