Pro Kabaddi League: Moein Shafaghi and Himanshu came up with superb performances helping Tamil Thalaivas take complete control of their fortunes as they dominated Bengal Warriorz from the get-go in a Season 11 match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) in the Badminton Hall of the Balewadi Sports Complex here on Wednesday. The Tamil Thalaivas, who crossed the half-century mark for the first time this season, won by a scoreline of 60-29.

For the Tamil Thalaivas, Shafaghi and Himanshu scored Super 10s (13 points each), while defenders Nitesh Kumar (7 points), and Amir Hossein Bastami (4 points), made important contributions as well. In the other corner, Manjeet bagged seven points and Chinese Taipei’s Chia Ming scored four of his own for the Bengal Warriorz.

The Tamil Thalaivas came out of the blocks quickest with Shafaghi leading the charge for his side in the early exchanges. The Tamil Thalaivas’ defence also started well, foiling Maninder Singh’s early attacks. The Bengal Warriorz were trying their best to stay within touching distance though.
