Surender Gill starred for the Yoddhas as he earned 11 points to help his team get the win, while Pardeep Narwal also scored crucial eight points. Pardeep started the match with a raid point for UP Yoddhas. But Manjeet earned two bonus points and Meetu earned a raid point of his own to put Steelers in the lead.
Just when it looked like Haryana might take control of the match, Rohit Tomar earned two quick raid points to reduce the gap between the two sides. A minute later, Surender Gill earned a SUPER RAID and UP Yoddhas inflicted an ALL OUT to take the lead.
Jaideep brought Steelers back into the contest getting two quick tackle points, sending both Rohit Tomar and the dangerous Pardeep onto the bench. But Nitesh Kumar brought Meetu down with a SUPER TACKLE to ensure UP stayed in the lead. Surender earned a three-point SUPER RAID late in the first half as Yoddhas went into half time leading at 20-12.

On the other end, Mohit and Jaideep continued to earn quick tackle points as Steelers inflicted an All Out on Yoddhas to ignite a sensational comeback. Manjeet continued his good show on the night as he earned a two-point super raid to level the score once again and put pressure on the opposition, and then he tackled down Pardeep to put Steelers in the lead.
Surender earned another Super Raid to help UP get back their lead. A minute later, Meetu was caught by Rohit and Yoddhas regained control.

In the opening stages, both teams matched each other point for point, almost every raid resulting in high-octane action. The difference was in the variety. While the Pirates’ points came through the combination of Rohit Gulia and Sachin, the Pink Panthers were reliant solely on the raids of Arjun Deshwal, who scored almost all their raid points in the half. The breakthrough came with about seven minutes left, Chiyaneh’s tackle on Deshwal reducing Jaipur to two men and staring at an all out.
They avoided it twice, the first a SUPER TACKLE by Ankush on Sachin which looked to have sparked a resurgence. Unfortunately, though the Pirates refused to let go of the stranglehold and finally the ALL OUT came with Chiyaneh’s tackle on Ajith Kumar as they took the lead at 15-12. Eventually, the Pirates went into the break leading 20-13.
The Pink Panthers rallied in the second half and within minutes had the Pirates in trouble. Duly, they inflicted a first ALL OUT of their own soon after, snatching a 23-21 lead. That all out galvanised the Pirates, reminding them of Jaipur’s strength on the bench. Buoyed by Gulia and Sachin, they kept picking up points and their defence backed their raiders as well. They got their second ALL OUT soon after, surging this time into a 32-25 lead. The Pirates kept raging on and eventually walked off the mat as winners of the match.

Aslam Inamdar picked up a couple of raid points as the Puneri Paltan inched ahead at 4-3 in the 8th minute.

But, Mohit Goyat and Mohammad Nabibakhsh carried out a SUPER TACKLE in the 15th minute and got the Puneri Paltan back in the lead at 12-10. However, U Mumba fought back and inflicted an ALL OUT in the 19th minute to take the lead at 15-13.

After fighting an even battle in the opening minutes of the second half, the Pune side inched ahead at 19-16 in the 27th minute through excellent raids by Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat. Moments later, Goyat effected a magnificent raid to reduce the Mumbai side to just one player on the mat. The Puneri Paltan tackled Guman Singh and inflicted an ALL OUT to take a massive lead at 25-20 in the 32nd minute. Guman Singh effected a multi-point raid, but the Pune side still held the lead at 27-25 in the 36th minute.
