How did Nitin and Ali Samadi lead Pink Panthers to victory over Bengal Warriorz?

Jaipur, Sep 18 (NationPress) In a thrilling match held at the SMS Indoor Stadium, the Jaipur Pink Panthers triumphed over the Bengal Warriorz with a score of 45-41 on Thursday. Nitin Kumar and Ali Samadi both achieved Super 10s, propelling their team to the fourth position on the points table.

Meanwhile, Devank Dalal secured his seventh consecutive Super 10 alongside Manprit Pardeep, while Ashish Malik also made a notable contribution with a High Five, yet it wasn’t sufficient for the Season 7 champions to clinch victory.

Devank began the game with a raid that marked him as the fastest raider to reach 400 raid points in just 38 games. Nitin Kumar opened the scoring for the Pink Panthers, but it was the Warriorz captain who initially took charge, giving his team a three-point lead early in the match.

However, the hosts quickly countered with Aashish Kumar executing a Super Tackle on Devank, followed by a quick raid from Nitin Kumar that leveled the score at 6-6. Ali Samadi then delivered a two-point raid, allowing the Pink Panthers to establish a four-point lead, concluding the action-packed first quarter at 12-8.

The Pink Panthers gradually asserted their authority, executing an All Out to increase their lead to six points. Nitin Kumar recorded his sixth Super 10 of the season, while Aashish Kumar added four tackles in the first half, giving the two-time champions a solid 24-18 advantage at halftime.

With the Warriorz fielding only one player at the start of the second half, the hosts inflicted another All Out, courtesy of a tackle from Aryan Kumar, extending their lead to nine points. Ali Samadi continued to shine offensively, maintaining a seven-point lead despite the Warriorz gaining some momentum.

Manprit Pardeep and Devank briefly narrowed the gap to six points before a Super Tackle from Nitin Rawal ensured the Jaipur Pink Panthers remained vigilant. Ashish Malik contributed defensively for the Warriorz by tackling Nitin Kumar during a Do-Or-Die raid, keeping his team within reach as the clock ticked down.

The Bengal Warriorz found a spark of hope when Devank Dalal achieved another Super 10, and Ashish Malik recorded a High Five, executing an All Out on the Pink Panthers, reducing the gap to just three points with under five minutes remaining.

As the game reached its climax, the Iranian duo for the Pink Panthers sealed any chance of a comeback. First, Reza Mirbagheri tackled Devank, followed by Ali Samadi who executed a stunning four-point Super Raid, also achieving his first Super 10. This ultimately made the difference in a high-scoring thriller as the Jaipur Pink Panthers secured a 45-41 victory.
