After their last match of the league, the three-time champions Patna Pirates coach Ram Mehar Singh has said that they lost around 8-9 matches because they lacked a good second raider and a reliable defence. Patna won their last match against Bengal Warriors with a scoreline of 69-41.

Many of Pardeep Narwal’s records were broken in this season by Naveen Kumar and Pawan Sehrawat but no one could pick six points in a single raid that Pardeep Narwal had done against Haryana Steelers. However, it was the Patna skipper himself, who equalled that against Bengal warriors last evening.

BC Ramesh has stated that it was important for Bengal Warriors to test the bench strength in their previous game against Patna Pirates which they lost by a big margin of 69-41. Bengal coach Ramesh also heaped praise on Patna skipper Pardeep Narwal, who scored 34 points against a weak Bengal defence.

Patna Pirates skipper Pardeep Narwal has said that the team won against Gujarat Fortunegiants because of the joint effort despite him being the top scorer of the match. It was the second-last match of the season for both Gujarat and Patna as none of them were able to make it to the play-offs.

After their win against Gujarat yesterday, Patna coach Ram Mehar Singh said that their pride was at stake in the match and he is glad the team fought for the win. In their second last match of the season, Patna defeated Gujarat 39-33 and this was only their seventh win of the season.

After Gujarat Fortunegiants' loss against Patna Pirates last evening, coach Manpreet Singh has said that luck hasn’t favoured his team much this season as they have lost a lot of close matches. He also talked about the changing point in the match as well as the plans for the upcoming season.
