PKL 10 Highlights: Gujarat Giants vs Puneri Paltan Extended Highlights, Match 83 Report

Chiyaneh’s brilliance takes Puneri Paltan to a second consecutive win against Gujarat Giants.

Puneri Paltan did the double over the Gujarat Giants taking a massive 34-24 victory over them in match 83 of PKL 10 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium today. Mohammedreza Chiyaneh’s scintillating 9-point performance was the difference between the sides on the day.

Right from the start it seemed like Chiyaneh would dictate proceedings as a young Puneri Paltan team rallied behind him. While he ensured defensive solidity, Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar wreaked havoc on the raid. Having consistently been ahead in the game they inflicted the first ALL OUT with six minutes of the half left to take a 17-8 lead. They extended that into a 13-point lead at the break.

The Gujarat Giants had logged a single tackle point in the first half, a testament not just to how ineffective their defence had been but also how good Goyat and Inamdar were. By any margin their performance rose in the second half — and they were better than Puneri Paltan on every metric in the second 20.

But not by enough. Despite their attempts at closing the gap, the all-out eluded them, and in the second half, Puneri Paltan kept the ante high, forcing the Gujarat Giants to backtrack everytime it looked like they had the game under control. Even with the last raid of the evening, with the Puneri Paltan reduced to two, the all-out did not arrive, Chiyaneh’s SUPER TACKLE a fitting end to his and the Puneri Paltan’s domination on the day.
