Vizag, Sept. 4 -- Bengal Warriorz suffered their first defeat of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season 12, going down 45-36 against Puneri Paltan in Vizag on Wednesday.

Despite a strong performance from captain Devank Dalal, who scored 17 raid points and completed a Super 10, they were unable to recover after a few costly errors as Puneri Paltan capitalised and won against the young Warriorz squad.

Reflecting on the result, head coach Naveen Kumar admitted that small mistakes proved to be decisive.
