Patna Pirates registered their first win of the Mumbai leg of the season five of Pro Kabaddi League by trouncing a lacklustre Tamil Thalaivas 35-24 here on Saturday. Patna, who drew with Bengal Warriors 36-36 last night, came from behind after trailing Thalaivas 1-4 after the first four minutes. An unsuccessful raid by Patna skipper Pardeep Narwal gave Thalaivas the opening points. In the second half, Patna continued to extend their lead and with 10 minutes for the final whistle, Patna led 23-16. In the second game, a closely contested one, Puneri Paltan edged out U Mumba 26-24, as the home team continued its losing streak in the home leg.
