Bengaluru Bulls recorded their third win of the season, beating Tamil Thalaivas 45-28 in front of a packed crowd at the Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru to rise to third place in the standings on Wednesday.
Bharat (12 points), Vikash Kandola (7 points) and Neeraj Narwal (5 points) were the pick of the raiders for the Bulls who broke a two-match losing streak in emphatic style.
Both teams traded points to kick off the game, and much like the evening`s first game, both defences were lax in their application, allowing raiders the opportunity to add to their tallies with ease.

It didn`t take long, barely halfway through the first period for the Bulls to open up a sizable lead. Bharat, on only his second raid of the evening, got a Super Raid taking out M Abishek, K. Abhimanyu and V Visvanath to induce the first All Out of the game and give the Bulls a 11-5 lead.
The Thalaivas slowly chipped away at that considerable lead as the half wore on, mostly getting bonus points of their own. But just as the Thalaivas were getting back into the game, the Bulls seized control again. Neeraj Narwal`s heroics at both ends of the mat ensured the home team went into the break leading 18-12.
