**Bengaluru, India** – The Bengaluru Bulls suffered a crushing 54-31 defeat against the Patna Pirates in the 64th match of Pro Kabaddi League Season 11. The loss marks the Bulls’ fifth consecutive defeat in the tournament.
The Bulls’ offensive woes were starkly evident throughout the match. Star raider Pardeep Narwal managed a paltry single point, while Ajinkya Pawar failed to score any points at all. The team’s entire point tally in the first 10 minutes came solely from six super tackles, highlighting their complete inability to penetrate the Patna defense through raids.
In contrast, Patna Pirates enjoyed a dominant performance, led by Devank, who scored 16 points. He received strong support from Sandeep and Ayaan, who contributed 12 points. Patna capitalized on the Bulls’ offensive struggles, inflicting several all-outs and building an insurmountable lead.
While the Bulls briefly held a lead early on due to their super tackles, Patna quickly took control after their first all-out in the 13th minute. Despite their defensive successes, the Bulls’ reliance on super tackles proved unsustainable against the Pirates’ superior raiding ability. The second half saw a repeat of the first, with Patna maintaining their dominance and securing a comfortable victory. The Bulls’ inability to generate points through raids ultimately sealed their fate.
