Pankaj and Arjun get a point each to get the final underway.
Following a successful season, it is only poetic that the 2 teams which finished at the top in the PKL 9 league stages, play each other for the trophy.
Sahul Kumar showed us why jaipur have the best defenders this season
Sahul Kumar with cover defender Reza Mirbaghani together managed to keep the Bengaluru Bulls raiders at bay
On the raiding front, V Ajith Kumar managed to score 13 points as PKL 9’s most aggressive team thumped the Bulls to earn a 20 point win
The 2nd semi final was just as tense but completely contrasting, when it came to the scores.
Puneri paltan, who had been trailing for the majority of the match, managed to turn it around in the dying minutes of the game as they knocked out the Tamil Thalaivas
Thalaivas inexperience at the knockout stage was why they faltered in their valiant attempts to reach the finals after their horrific start to the campaign, where they lost both the match as well as their super star player, Pawan Sehrawat
In the group stages, Puneri met Jaipur twice, managing to get the win on both occasions
