The winners leading 19-13 at half time, finally maintained
their winning margin. The teams exchanged positions on the league table, with
the Panthers going up to sixth with 13 points above their rivals who have 10 to
their credit.
Both the teams made drastic changes in their line ups with
Pune handing over the mantle of captaincy to Pravin in the absence of Wazir
Singh. Pune coach Ashok Shinde introduced Tushar Patil from the start and the
youngster proved his coach right with his display. Jaipur brought back Navneet
Gautam but dispensed with him after the first quarter as he fell prey twice
once to Amit Rathi who too met with little success. Comparatively Sonu Narwal
exhibited his class with a super raid to put his side ahead 7-4 early on. Pune
retaliated with asuper tackle on Rajesh Narwal to narrow the gap.
With Jasvir also stepping up the tempo to claim three
victims in three raids the Panthers came close to inflicting an all-out. Their
intentions were however sabotaged by Pravin for some time. He first came up
with a bonus plus one victim and next claimed two but that was turned down
after an unsuccessful referral. With the one he got he brought the margin down
at 8-11. But Pune had to face the inevitable with Jasvir netting in two and as
Amit was caught after Pravin’s dismissal the winners went ahead at 15-10 with
the all-out in the 14th minute.
The second half saw Panthers keeping abreast with Rajesh
scoring a brace to then end with eight valuable points inclusive of two
catching points. Jasvir also kept his momentum going to increase his tally to
seven in 12 raids. Sonu Narwal ended with seven in a dozenraids with his
intelligently taken bonus points and effective high kicks.
For Pune, Pravin kept the flag flying but he didn’t have
much support although Sanjay Kumar and substitute Mahipal Narwal got two and
three points respectively. In the end the fall of Pravin with a couple of
minutes after getting Jasvir but falling to a super tackle by Rajesh, Pune’s
hopes vanished in thin air.
