Dabang Delhi clinched a terrific victory against Gujarat Giants as they secure a spot on the top of the points table. Delhi and Gujarat were both patient to start with in the early exchanges, with neither able to attain a big lead. While Rakesh HS was running the show for the Giants, captain Naveen Kumar was looking to drive his side on. The defenders were making quite a match of this as the raiders found it tough to pick up the points.

While Gujarat Giants managed to take a slender lead, it was Manjeet who first stood up for Dabang Delhi as he took two men out to help Delhi level the scores. Soon Naveen started to rake up a few quick points for Delhi as Gujarat lost their plot towards the end of the first hal by conceding an all out. By the time the first half finished, Delhi led 21-17. The Giants threatened to storm back into the game early in the second half, however, Manjeet and co managed a Super Tackle, helping Delhi to extend their lead further. Delhi was running away with the game, and everyone on the team was chipping in with crucial points as Naveen completed his Super 10 as well.
The Giants tried their best to reduce the gap but defending champions Delhi were on fire on the night, leading by 14 points in the 35^th minute. Krishan, Ashu Malik, Manjeet and Vishal backed up the brilliant Naveen superbly as Delhi walked off the mat with a huge victory.
