Patna Pirates started on the front foot with their raiding duo of Guman Singh and Sachin finding errors in the Telugu defence. The Pirates kept attacking and got an ALL OUT in the 7th minute to open a 7-point lead. 

The Titans had no intention to be easy pushovers however and initiated an immediate fightback. Rajnish found mistakes in the Patna defence to slowly push his team closer to the Pirates. His 3-point Super Raid in the 17th minute gave the Titans an opportunity to inflict an ALL OUT on the table-toppers. Adarsh T then clinched a 2-point raid to get the ALL OUT and open a 1-point lead. 

Patna soon got back into the lead through Sachin and brought in the experienced Monu Goyat as a substitute to sharpen their attack. The scores were 21-20 in favour of the Pirates at halftime.

Titans continued to match the Pirates raid by raid as their defence ensured there were no easy points. Ankit Beniwal also started supporting Rajnish in the raids as they moved to a 1-point lead. The scores were 27-26 with 10 minutes remaining.

The depth of Patna’s squad meant they kept finding answers to all the challenges being thrown at them by the Titans. Patna outscored the Titans by 3 points to once again take the lead. The momentum shift proved decisive as the Pirates inflicted an ALL OUT with 3 minutes remaining to open a 7-point lead and eventually won the match with an 8 point margin.
