They
have
taken
their
place
in
the
Semi-Finals
and
will
face
Puneri
Paltans
on
December
15.
The
Thalaivas’ raiding
duo
Narender
(13
points)
and
Ajinkya
Pawar
(10
points)
were
the
undoubted
stars
of
their
victory.
MATCH
CENTRE
A
close
first
half
kicked
off
with
the
Thalaivas
becoming
the
first
team
that
won
the
toss
and
chose
to
raid
this
season.
It
seemed
the
decision
came
with
a
gameplan
as
they
raced
into
a
4-0
lead,
Narender’s
raids
brilliantly
complemented
by
a
tight
defence.
The
raider
continued
to
be
a
menace
through
the
half
constantly
registering
touch
points
to
keep
the
Yoddhas
depleted.
For
the
Yoddhas,
the
duo
of
Pardeep
Narwal
and
Surender
Gill
suffered,
registering
a
mere
five
points
between
them
through
the
half.
Reduced
to
three,
it
took
a
SUPER
TACKLE
by
Ashu
Singh
on
Ajinkya
Pawar
that
ensured
the
Yoddhas
didn’t
suffer
an
all-out.
Right
at
the
end
of
the
half
though,
Narender
came
out
again,
to
catch
Sandeep
Narwal
and
then
Gurdeep
to
leave
the
Yoddhas
on
the
brink
of
an
all-out.
The
Thalaivas
went
into
the
break
leading
16-14.
The
Thalaivas
kicked
off
the
second
half
inflicting
a
first
ALL-OUT
on
the
Yoddhas
to
surge
into
a
19-15
lead.
The
Yoddhas
fought
back
and
Gill
in
particular
started
getting
points
at
regular
intervals.
The
Thalaivas
kept
their
cool
though,
chipping
away
with
just
enough
points
to
constantly
keep
the
Yoddhas
at
arm’s
length.
With
five
minutes
to
go
the
two
teams
were
separated
by
a
mere
three
points
and
the
tension
was
palpable.
With
three
to
go,
Pardeep
Narwal
came
alive,
taking
out
M
Himanshu
and
Abishek
to
leave
the
Thalaivas
on
the
brink
of
an
all-out.
With
just
under
two
minutes
to
go,
the
Yoddhas
got
their
first
ALL
OUT
of
the
game
to
draw
level
at
33
apiece.
With
barely
thirty
seconds
to
go,
Narwal
came
up
with
a
SUPER
RAID
to
give
the
Yoddhas
a
two-point
lead.
And
yet,
the
Thaialvas
fought
back,
Pawar
earning
them
one
point
before
a
tackle
point
on
Narwal
with
15
seconds
left,
drawing
them
level
and
taking
the
game
to
a
tiebreaker.
The
Thalaivas
edged
a
tense
back-and-forth
tiebreaker
6-4
to
take
the
game
and
set
up
a
Semi-Final
clash
against
Puneri
Paltan
on
Thursday.
