Haryana Steelers sustained their momentum, with players like Vinay and Siddharth Desai consistently earning points through effective raids. By halftime, the scores favored Haryana at 26-13.
Entering the second half with a renewed strategy, Bulls displayed an improved defensive performance.

Despite these efforts, Steelers remained relentless, with their defenders, including cover defenders Jaideep and Mohit, each securing a high 5.
Despite a spirited comeback attempt, Bulls were unable to turn the tide. Steelers maintained their dominance, ultimately securing the win with a final scoreline of 38-32.
