Defending champions Punjab Royals put up a dominant show to storm into the finals of the Pro Wrestling League here at the Siri Fort Indoor Stadium on Wednesday. The players took a commanding 4-0 lead against Veer Marathas before conceding the first point in the nine-bout tie. Pooja Dhanda then lived up to her new-found reputation of a giant killer to down World Championship silver medalist Marwa Amri to seal their place in the final. Pooja began on the wrong foot, losing two points to Marwa in the first period. She, however, bounced back smartly in the next period to turn the contest around. She did one better by pinning the Tunisian and scoring the victory that took the Punjab Royals into the title round.
