Gujarat Giants beat Telugu Titans
Gujarat Giants beat Telugu Titans 44-30 to earn a significant victory and maintain their playoff qualification. Gujarat Giants’ star player was Parteek Dahiya, who outscored the bottom-placed club by himself with 17 points. In order to maintain their chances of making the playoffs, the Giants started the game with a run of raid points. Parteek Dahiya and Dong Geon, a raiding duo for the Gujarat Giants, frequently added points to the scoreboard to keep them in the lead. They administered the Titans’ first ALL-OUT within the first 10 minutes, earning a 13-4 advantage.
With nothing to lose, the Titans fought their way back into the game by relentlessly attacking the Gujarat Giants’ defense. They even came close to going all-out, but Dong Geon’s SUPER TACKLE on K Hanumanthu stopped the Gujarat Giants from giving up too many points.
The Giants were secure, though, as they led 21-12 at halftime thanks to Dahiya’s persistent raiding threat. Even though they had nothing to lose, the Titans came back in the second half and scored an ALL OUT of their own to trim the deficit to six points. Though the Giants replied quickly.
With the help of Dahiya’s SUPER RAID, the Gujarat Giants regained total dominance. The raid ignited the Giants’ next period of dominance, and shortly after, they inflicted a second ALL OUT. The Giants’ greatest threat remained Dahiya, who had already scored 17 points in the game with ten minutes left to play.
It took a pair of SUPER TACKLES by Parvesh Bhainswal to keep the Titans in the game as the Gujarat Giants closed in on yet another. The Gujarat Giants ultimately secured a significant win, but the Titans found it to be too great a mountain to climb.

With 15 victories, 82 points, and a significant score differential of 174 points, the Jaipur Pink Panthers won the league’s ninth season. Arjun Deshwal, who scored 290 raid points in 23 games, and Ankush Rathee, who notched 86 tackle points in 23 games, are the best raider and defenders of season 9 for Jaipur.
The defensive five of Sunil Kumar, Sahul Kumar, Reza Mirbagheri, and Ankush Rathee contributed a total of 21 points as Jaipur Pink Panthers defeated Bengaluru Bulls on their way to the finals. Jaipur Pink Panthers appear prepared to win the Puneri Paltan as V Ajith Kumar is also regaining his form. Two of the six losses from the league stage were against Puneri Paltan, therefore Jaipur will want to win the most crucial game against them.
Paltan Paltan
The league’s youngest squad and the side captained by the mercurial Fazel Atrachali, is running smoothly this year. Puneri Paltan is vying for its first championship, and this is the closest they have come to winning the PKL trophy. Prior to this, they had consecutive third-place results in seasons 3 and 4. Puneri Paltan finished in second place overall behind Jaipur Pink Panthers in the points standings and defeated the valiant Tamil Thalaivas in the semifinals to get to the summit match.
Puneri Paltan’s primary raiders Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat will be unavailable due to injuries, but their bench has excellent talent and has stepped up when necessary. Sanket Sawant, Abhinesh Nadarajan, and the Iranian all-rounder Md Nabibaksh make up the Puneri defense, which is led by Fazel Atrachali. The fact that Puneri Paltan has triumphed over the Jaipur Pink Panthers in their last two meetings will serve as motivation for them. When raiding against the formidable Jaipur Pink Panthers, Pankaj Mohite and Akash Shinde will have a heavy burden.
