FULL TIME!

Haryana Steelers 25-28 Dabang Delhi K.C.

Oh it was an evenly fought contest right until the last couple of minutes, where two multi-point raids, including a super raid from Vijay took the Delhi outfit over the line against the Steelers. Just when it looked like what happened against the Bulls would repeat for Delhi after Naveen got injured, Vijay has stepped-up and saw them over the line. Picks up 11 points from the contest and has been sensational tonight. As for the Steelers, they will look to come back stronger in their next encounter. They played well for the majority of the contest but lost the plot in the dying moments of the game. 

40' Manjeet Chhillar walks towards the raider and surrenders. Only a point given and the raider goes back to his half. 

40' SUPER RAID! Vijay has pulled off a super raid! The Steelers defence plays a high line and does not allow Vijay to take the baulk line as well. Vijay escapes Kandola's ankle hold and gets a couple of more points as the left side of the defence came around for support. 

40' Do-or-die raid for the Steelers and the raider gets a point as Sandeep Narwal goes for a far too advance ankle hold.

TIMEOUT!

35' The right-in defender goes in for an ankle hold but the raider does not run into the tackle. Waits, touches the defender and makes his way back to his half. 

Naveen Kumar's knee is strapped up with plenty of ice and is lying down next to the substitutes' bench. Not a good sight for a Delhi fan. 

34' Ashish picks up a bonus, turns and escapes Jeeva Kumar's dash. Oh that is some good skills from the raider!

Delhi have reviewed as they believe there was no bonus point. However, replays suggest that it was as clear a bonus as any. Review unsuccessful!

Haryana Steelers 20-20 Dabang Delhi K.C.

33' Do-or-die raid for Delhi now and Ashu Malik and an unnecessary advance dash from Kandola does not hamper Malik's momentum towards the mid-line. What more, Ashu has picked up a bonus as well!

32' Do-or-die raid for the Steelers and Meetu is tackled almost immediately! A high-quality double ankle hold from Jeeva tackles him.

However, the Steelers believe that Jeeva's foot was out of bounds just before he dived for the double ankle hold and they review for the same. The replays are in compliance with what the officials had adjudged. One point granted to Delhi.

Dabang Delhi K.C. review it! The review is successful as Meetu had gotten a touch before going into the lobby and while dashing Krishan had gone out of bounds as well. One point to each side.

Haryana Steelers 12-12 Dabang Delhi K.C.

HALF TIME!

As for Delhi, in the absence of Naveen on the mat, it has been Vijay who has shouldered the raiding duties and has 4 points to his name. The two young corner defenders have a point each to their name and will be looking to improve in the second half. Right then, it's even-stevens. Which side will emerge on top?

Right then, the Dabang Delhi K.C. find themselves placed third in the points table with 32 points and will have the opportunity of overtaking the Pirates to be placed second if they win this encounter. They had a terrible outing against the Bulls sans Naveen Kumar and will be hoping that the star raider is fit and back in action tonight. The Haryana Steelers have not lived up to their potential thus far and are placed eighth with 23 points. They will not be the favourites going into this encounter but once can certainly not count them out. Should the Steelers' defence be on song, it will be extremely difficult to score points against them.
