Yoddhas’ substitution Mohammadreza Kaboudrahangi scored the first tackle point for his team, and then Bhavani Rajput’s 2-point raid made UP equal the scoreline. Haryana was down to 2-men, but that’s where they showed their defense prowess and did a super tackle of Bhavani Rajput to revive their players. Soon, Haryana started leading the scoreline by 3 points.

Bahavni Rajput closed the gap with his super raid in the last 3 minutes of the first half, helping UP inflict the first all-out on the Steelers. At the end of the first half, UP was leading the chart with 15-13.

Though Haryana’s defense was doing well, Yoddhas’ raiders didn’t let them decrease the deficit and won the match by 7 points, with a scoreline of 31-24.
