44-35 And that is how it ends. It has been Bengaluru Bulls all the way as the Thalaivas never saw things going its way. Kashi and Sehrawat, both, had a terrific night with Sehrawat getting 14/14 raids right.
Stick with us , as we will soon be back with a Goyat-Atrachalli mega-clash.
44-35 A super tackle by the Tamil Thalaivas, but again, that comes when the game has already slipped out from the side's hands. A thing we are getting to see happen again and again with this side this season. Just the lone victory to show for this time.
Kashiling Adake, who did not have a good last season, has shown what he is capable of this time around.
42-31 A do-or-die raid from Athul, which at first seemed to be converting into an easy point, goes in vain. The Bulls is just too good for the Thalaivas here.
41-31 Thalaivas with a super tackle here. Chillar does the damage, but a little too late?
41-29 Adake taking all of his time. Returns with no points.

36-26 Ajay Thakur, more or less the lone fighter for the Tamil Thalaivas, in some sort of discomfort here to add to the Thalaivas' woes. A stretcher being brought in for him.
34-25 Bad work by Mahendra there. All the Bulls needs to do now is defend. He tries to grab Athul from the front but he fights his way out.
33-25 Athul with a quick raid as he gets the right corner. Quick points are what the Thalaivas need now to stay alive.
