PKL 2025 Historic Tie-Breaker: Bengal Warriorz Stun Titans 7-5 After 45-45 Thriller

What an absolute nail-biter. On Wednesday night in New Delhi, the Bengal Warriorz and Telugu Titans gave us a Pro Kabaddi League match that ended 45-45. But this season, ties don’t exist. So, for the first time in their history, the Warriorz stared down a tie-breaker and walked away with a stunning victory.

Key Takeaways

  • Historic Win: Bengal Warriorz secured their first-ever tie-break victory in PKL history.
  • Final Score: The match was tied 45-45 in regulation before the Warriorz won the tie-breaker 7-5.
  • Star Performer: Devank was the hero for Bengal, scoring his 14th Super 10 and the match-winning point.
  • Streak Snapped: The loss ended the Telugu Titans’ impressive five-match winning streak.

A Thriller from Start to Finish

Look, nobody expected this. The match at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium was an absolute roller coaster. The Telugu Titans came in hot, riding a five-match winning streak and sitting comfortably at 3rd in the standings. Vijay Malik got them started, and their star raider Bharat Hooda also pulled off a Super 10.

But the Bengal Warriorz, currently in 11th place, refused to back down. They matched the Titans point-for-point in a relentless battle. Every raid was intense. Every tackle was crucial. The clock wound down, and unbelievably, the score was locked at 45-45. No winner.

The New Rule That Changed Everything

Here’s the thing. In past PKL seasons, that would’ve been it. A draw. But PKL 2025 threw out the old rulebook. The introduction of the Golden Raid tie-breaker for all normal matches means every game must have a winner. This was just the 10th time all season the rule came into play, and it was a first for the Warriorz.

You could feel the tension crank up. Five raids each. No room for error. It’s pure pressure, and it’s exactly what makes this sport so electric.

Devank’s Moment of Glory

And then came the hero. Devank. He had already been magnificent all night, securing his 14th Super 10 of the season. But with the game on the line in the tie-breaker, he delivered the final, decisive point. His clutch performance sealed the 7-5 tie-break win and etched Bengal’s name into the history books for their first-ever victory of this kind.

For the Titans, it was heartbreak. Their amazing run was over. For the Warriorz, it was pure elation, a massive morale boost even if their league position remains a challenge with 5 wins and 9 losses.

What This Means for the Delhi Leg

So, what now? The Titans, despite the loss, are still a top team with 8 wins and 6 losses. They’ll be looking to bounce back fast. But for the Warriorz, this is huge. It’s a statement win that proves they can hang with the best teams in the league, even when everything is on the line.

The Delhi leg of PKL 12 runs until October 23, and if this match is any indication, we’re in for some more incredible drama. Can the Warriorz use this historic win as a turning point for their season? Let us know what you think!
