Strategic timeout

Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium: Having already qualified for the playoffs, Puneri Paltan were in great form as they secured a 40-31 win over the Bengaluru Bulls at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday.

Despite a late comeback by the Bengaluru Bulls, skipper Aslam Inamdar’s top performance was supported by his teammates as they continued their fight for one of the two places in the semifinals.
