The Delhi Capitals were led by a brilliant showing from their defence in the second half after it found it difficult in the first half to match the energy of Bengaluru's Pawan Sehrawat. In the second half of the match, Dabang Delhi got a total of 24 points against Bengaluru's 18. 

 

In terms of Raid Points, Delhi had 16 courtesy of a great showing by Naveen Kumar, the Naveen Express who completed a Super 10. In terms of tackles, there was nothing much to difference as Delhi had five and Bulls four. And once again, Delhi had two extra points thanks to an all-out in the second half as well to complement the one they had in the first half.

Pawan is adamant about bringing Beneguluiru back in the game as he completes his 300 raid points in the current season. This is a huge success but that won't count if his team loses today so his main focus still remains to get the win for his team as time has been taken after he gets out. 

 

Bengaluru trail by eight points as of now

Sandeep Narwal has now come back and is now raiding after taking a point from the tackle to draw the Dabang Delhi level.

9:06 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Dabang Delhi 15-15 Bengaluru Bulls | Too tight to call

 

With three minutes to go, the teams are very hard to differentiate between as of now as the lead keeps changing hands throughout the first half. 

 

And it seems that Dabang Delhi might get a lead ..well now as Umpire says raider is out 

 

Review taken by Delhi and the replay showed that the body of the raider was out of the lobby area and his hands cem from outside the lobby thus he would remain out

And with this empty raid, the Patna Pirates have now made it to the final of the PKL 2021 and the men in gree have come to conquer Bengaluru and they want their fourth trophy now. The team that was not at all the favourites at the start fo the season have now made it to the final and this huge win by 11 points would now take them to their Hotel rooms easy 

8:33 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 38-27 UP Yodhas | Time out !!

 

With just a minute to play, UP Yodha have taken a time out and that won't be of any help I guess as Patna will most likely offer a free point in two raids by UP 

8:32 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 37-27 UP Yodhas | That's red hot double thigh hold

 

Monu Goyat has come out of the Syllabus here for Pradeep Narwal as Patna Pirates have now once again increased the lead to nine points and with yet another tackle point, they have got it to 10 points 

8:29 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 33-18 UP Yodhas | Close Fight

 

With less than five minutes to go, a maximum of five raids can be completed by UP Yodhas and can they get the desired points?

 

For now, have reduced the lead to 11 points as Guman Singh comes in for do to die raid 

 

Patna are down to two men and now they have just one on the mat UP come in to raid and UP have inflicted an all-out and now Patna lead by just seven points with only 2.30 minutes to go 

8:25 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 34-22 UP Yodhas | UP want miracle

 

UP Yodha wants the revival, do they? They have taken down the lead to only 13 points now and with five minutes to go, can they actually do it? It would not be less than a miracle. They have now once again reduced the lead to just 12 points as Patna take the strategic time out once again 

8:21 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 33-18 UP Yodhas | Patna just keep going

 

In the time out, Ram Meher Singh, the coach of the Patna Pirates said that he wants the raiders to go fast and defenders to slow down the game but Patna are not listening to him it seems as both raiders and defenders are going great guns and have scored two quick points 

8:16 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 31-17 UP Yodhas | Time Out!!

 

With 10 minutes left, can Pradeep Narwal and his men make a famous comeback? as of now., it doesn't seem like a possibility as he has been tackled and wait...Neeraj Kumar is out of bounds and comes into the struggle and thus Pradeep is safe and gets a point as well. So Pradeep is safe and Neeraj is out and UP have a point as well and Patna lose their one review

 

And with this confusion in the middle, a 01:30 minutes Time out has been taken by the Pirates 

8:12 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 31-16 UP Yodhas | All out!!

 

And that's the third all out from Patna Pirates and they are cruising to the final it seems as they gave the bonus points to the UP raiders and then threw him out of the mat to get the all-out 

8:11 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 26-13 UP Yodhas | UP Yodhas lose their review

 

The hand as it looks in the reply is on the line and not over it and hence the raider is out and UP now lose all their reviews in the game 

8:10 PM

PKL Semi-final Live Updates | Patna Pirates 26-13 UP Yodhas | Review by UP Yodhas

 

Patna sense that with 13 points lead in the game and 13 minutes to go, they can play on the do or die raid 

 

But it's a do or die raid for the UP Yodhas and the reader is out to put the Yodhas with two men on the mat

 

And a review has been taken by the Yodhas
