FT: Bengal Warriors 41-38 Bengaluru Bulls

What a mouth-watering contest this has been right from the word go, but in the end, the Warriors pulled off some sensational raids and tackles to emerge victorious in the final minute.. The Bulls took an eight-point lead after they inflicted an all-out in the 23rd minute, but the Warriors struck back instantly as the defense tackled Kandola and Bharat in successive raids to clean the team out in the 30th minute.

It was a complete team effort from the Warriors in the final 5 minutes as Shrikant Jadhav picked up some crucial raid points, while the defense stayed in unison to wreak havoc to the Bulls' raiders.
