Pankaj Mohite brought the first raid point for his team. Finally, Patna’s top raider Devank Dalal, with a back thrust, scored his first point of the night. Puneri Paltan was down to one man in the last 5 minutes of the first half, but Abhineesh Natarajan saved his team from all-out and brought them into the lead with the scoreline at the end of the first half standing at 15-13.

In the first minute of the second half, the home team suffered an all-out. Pune’s defense was doing its job and making multiple super tackles, but the raiding department was struggling to bring points. Meanwhile, Devank Dalal brought two more points to inflict another all-out on Puneri Paltan. Eventually, Pune lost the match, with Patna winning it by five points.
