PKL 8: Pardeep Kumar shines as Gujarat Giants beat Bengaluru Bulls
Bengaluru Bulls will have only themselves to blame for the loss. A lapse of concentration in the final minutes cost them important points. Their raiders Pawan Sehrawat and Bharat scored Super 10s but di'n't get the necessary support from the defence. There was very little to separate the two sides in an evenly contested first half. Bengaluru started the match brightly with their captain Pawan Sehrawat looking in good form.

Patna led the first half as the score was 18-16.
PKL 8: Deepak Hooda shines as Jaipur Pink Panthers outclass Dabang Delhi KC
Dabang Delhi's disorganised defence was the main reason for their downfall. Experienced stars Manjeet Chhillar, Jeeva Kumar and Joginder Narwal had very little effect on the match. They got just 7 tackle points in the entire match (which included two Super Tackles). All-rounder Sandeep Narwal also had a poor outing, making errors in the defence and not involving in the raids. Vijay was the sole performer with 16 points.

Sahil Gulia in the left corner picked up 4 points while raiders Ajinkya Pawar (10 points) and Manjeet (9 points) excelled in the one-sided victory.

PKL 8: Raiders shine as Gujarat Giants beat Haryana Steelers
Their defenders had a solid game too, with the seasoned corner combination of Ravinder Pahal and Girish Ernak impressing. Haryana's much-famed defense had a night to forget with Surender Nada struggling in the left corner. The Steelers had just five tackle points in the entire match.

PKL 8: Delhi decimate Gujarat, move to top of points table
Vijay (8 points) and Neeraj Narwal (4 points) contributed to the raiding points for Delhi, who continued to be without their star raider Naveen Kumar. Gujarat coach Manpreet Singh will have no positives to take from the result with both the defence and attack falling short. Dabang Delhi K.C. started the match on the front foot with their much-maligned defence showing aggressive intent. Captain Joginder Narwal was back in the left corner position and that seemed to have motivated the senior pros in the team.
