The final day of the Ahmedabad leg saw the home side Gujarat Fortunegiants take on the Haryana Steelers at "The Arena" by Transstadia in Gujarat.
Gujarat Fortunegiants kept their winning momentum from last night to reach the top of Zone A as they beat Haryana Steelers with a 40-31 scoreline. They ended their home leg with four wins, one loss and a tied match.
The first half started off on a stellar note as Mahendra Ganesh Rajput started off proceedings with a three-point Super Raid in the first raid of the match. Gujarat took a sizeable lead in the match courtesy the raiding prowess of their formidable trio - Sachin Tanwar and K Prapanjan in addition to Rajput. The Steelers had a better time towards the end with a couple of good raids by Monu Goyat and Vikas Khandola. They also capitalized on the defensive mistakes by the Fortunegiants and cut the lead down to six points as the half ended 21-15 in favour of the home side.
The second period of the match saw Gujarat take control of the match as Sachin Tanwar and Parvesh Bhainswal came through for the team in the attack and defence respectively. Monu Goyat got his Super 10 but it was not enough to get a point from the match in the end.
