First Half: A Rocky Start for the Titans

The Telugu Titans entered the game on shaky ground, having lost three consecutive matches. The first half proved challenging for them as they struggled to find their rhythm. Star raider Pawan Sehrawat faced an early setback, being sent to the bench within the first minute. This left the Titans’ defense exposed, and they trailed Patna Pirates by a narrow margin.

The Titans gradually started gaining momentum with Sehrawat’s return to the mat in the sixth minute. However, Patna Pirates’ raiders Ayan and Devank kept up relentless pressure, consistently adding points to the Pirates’ scoreboard. By the end of the first half, Patna Pirates were leading 13-10, with the Titans still trying to find their footing.

Second Half: Rising Titans Turn the Tide

The Titans came out with renewed energy after the break. Led by Ashish Narwal and a reinvigorated Pawan Sehrawat, they began closing the gap with strong tackle and raid points. Ashish Narwal’s remarkable agility and Sehrawat’s strategic plays helped the Titans tally up a remarkable ten points within the first ten minutes of the second half, overtaking the Pirates with a lead of 20-18.

Patna Pirates struggled to respond, managing only five points during this period. Raiders Devank and Ayan tried to pull Patna back into the game, but the Titans were relentless in their defense and raids. As the score reached a tight 22-21, Ashish Narwal delivered a crucial super raid, bringing in three points and extending the Titans’ lead to 25-21.
