The evening also witnessed Aslam Inamdar reaching the 100-point mark for the season.
A see-saw first half saw Paltan streak into an early lead, inflicting the first ALL OUT on the Warriors to surge into a 11-1 lead.
However, the Warriors rallied and picked up a string of points where they not only scored 10 points of their own but also ensured that Paltan only got three.
They got an ALL OUT of their own to cut the gap before the pendulum swung again. Within five minutes, Paltan had another ALL OUT, streaking away into a 24-12 lead. They held onto it to go into halftime leading 24-13.
Paltan kept the momentum going through the second half as the raiding trio of Inamdar, Shinde and Goyat regularly grabbed points and didn't allow the Warriors any chance to recover.
At the other end, the Warriors were relying solely on Maninder, whose successful raids were enough. A third ALL OUT duly arrived for the Paltan as they consolidated their lead to 33-14.
Thereafter, Puneri Paltan continued to be in control of the match and Shinde's SUPER RAID, which caught out D Balaji, Surender Nada, Vaibhav Garje and Manoj Gowda, in the final minutes, sealed the deal for the Pune side.
