Narwal and Kumar were the star raiders of the match but Patna Pirates' defence also joined the party to win a lop- sided match in the match.
The Pune side was all-out on three occasions in the match. The first two came in the first 12 minutes of the match.
The all-out assault launched by the Pirates was so severe that Puneri Paltan literally lost heart after they trailed 7-25 at the break. They did come back for a brief period in the second half to inflict an all-out on their rivals but that was all they could manage.
His 6-point super raid with four victims and two for the second all-out was the best show by a raider till date and more importantly it came at a crucial juncture.

As the Patna Pirates defence too started hacking the rival raiders one after the other the crowd was stunned and so was Puneri Paltan. They didn't realize what exactly hit them.
That led to the only all-out Puneri Paltan could inflict. But two successful do-or-die raids by Pardeep Narwal and Rohit Kumar brought the Patna Pirates side back on track.
A super ten for Pardeep Narwal before he was rested with a minor injury, seven to Rohit Kumar with a tackle point and in defence Sandeep Narwal (5), Vinod Kumar(4), Sunil (3) and D Suresh Kumar (2) showed the intent with which they subdued the rival attackers.
