Patna Pirates held Bengal Warriors 20-20 for the first draw in Season 2 of the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League. 
The proceedings were heightened by substitute Gurvinder Singh once he came on after the break with his side trailing 9-12. The Warriors relied on the South Korean Jang Kun Lee who contributed five points with a bonus to boot as he kept his side in the fray with a raid that fetched two points.
The first drawn game this season gave three points each to the contestants. As a result, Patna remain in fourth place with 20 points and Bengal move over Pune in seventh spot. They have 11 points in their kitty.
Sandeep Narwal, home captain failed to inspire his side as he with Ravi Dalal and Deepak Narwal and Dinesh and his fellow raiders failed to register a single point in the first ten minutes.
It was Vineet Sharma of the Warriors who came up with the first raid point when he touched left corner Sunil Kumar taking the score to 4-3 in favour of the Warriors.
With Dinesh getting out twice and Ravi Dalal and Deepak Narwal getting into the act, the scoreboard gradually started moving.
The second half was slightly better with Gurvinder showing a sense of urgency and Mahendra Rajput, the tall Maharashtra cop, who had replaced Dinesh, scoring three – there was at last something for the spectators to cheer about.
Overall, the match ended on a better note for the hosts as they staved off defeat with Jan Kun Lee getting trapped during a do-or -die raid with his team on a 20-19 advantage. The three points earned by Patna helped them remain in the top-four and on course for a semi-final berth.
