The credit for today’s win should go to the cool Nitin Tomar who is growing in stature in every match. He had a match tally of 9 raid points with one tackle point. As usual, the Kolkata defence of Girish Ernak, Bajirao Hodage and captain Nilesh Shinde played an important role to negate the threat of the lanky Sonu Narwal who is short of form this season. His final tally of 7 raid points swelled because he was given easy bonus points by the rivals towards the end. 

The tempo of the match never rose beyond the pedestrian in the first half as Bengal Warriors led 10-9 at the break. Sonu had a couple of fruitful raids and so did Nitin Tomar. There was nothing worth of note even in the half but for two all-outs scored by the winners and a super raid by Jang Kun Lee that fetched three points to up the score to 32-16. Rajesh Narwal who strove hard got a super tackle on substitute Shyam Kumar Sah in the last minute of play.
