Stellar performances from defenders Nitesh Kumar, Moein Shafaghi, Amir Hossein Bastami, and a brilliant Super 10 by raider Vishal Chahal ensured the Thalaivas stayed in control throughout the game.
The two defensive units were dictating terms in the opening exchanges of this contest and saw more tackles than raids. The two teams were at even-stevens, giving very little away, before Vishwas S executed a brilliant Super Raid to give the Bengal Warriorz a four-point lead.
The tables turned rather quickly, courtesy Vishal, who inflicted a Super Raid and dismissed three players for the Bengal Warriorz. That helped the Tamil Thalaivas execute an ALL OUT, putting them back in the lead by three points.
Just when it seemed like the Tamil Thalaivas would ride on their momentum to extend their lead further, the Bengal Warriorz showed their mettle.
There was no stopping the Tamil Thalaivas as they kept piling on the misery on the Season 7 champions.
Vishal completed his Super 10, helping his side carry on their fine form in this contest, further extending their lead to twelve points.
With 16 successful tackle points in the game, Tamil Thalaivas eventually decimated the Bengal Warriorz, completing a, 15-point route.
