While the raiders, driven by Captain Ajay Thakur (8 points), contributed with 15 points, the defense was likewise on the spot with 9 tackle points. Manjeet Chhillar was the best defender for the Tamils with his 3 tackle points. In spite of the fact that the Tamils left the experienced Amit Hooda and Jasvir Singh out of the beginning lineup, with D Gopu and Athul MS in the side they looked considerably more of a group with a superior coordination in the defense.
The Patna team is also retrieving after a win (38-35 points) against Delhi roused by a 16 points exertion by their Captain, Pardeep Narwal.
