Puneri Paltan extended their winning run to three games in the ongoing PKL 2025 with an impressive 45-36 victory over Bengal Warriorz 45-36 at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag on Wednesday (September 3).

Captain Aslam Inamdar once again led from the front while the likes of Aditya Shinde and Vishal Bharadwaj impressed too. For Bengal Warriorz, their captain Devank Dalal scored 17 points but his efforts went in vain.

It did not take Puneri Paltan long to assert their dominance as they made a bright start. With Shinde and Inamdar scoring early raid points, the Pune-based outfit were quick to put itself on the driver’s seat. Shinde troubled Bengal Warriorz defenders to keep his team on the front foot.
