With just a minute to go, the game is going Puneri’s way as they lead 28-21 and only a blunder can get the trophy away from the team from Maharashtra. 

Puneri Paltan 26-20 Haryana Steelers

The Pune defence is so trite that they are not letting the Haryana Steelers score freely and as a result with only two and a half minutes to go, they lead by six points still and it could be more than handy in the final. 

Puneri Paltan 25-19 Haryana Steelers

Since the time out, it is Puneri again which has scored three points, while the Haryana Steelers, which needed to score a lot of points could score only three as well as they trail by six points with five minutes to go. 

Puneri Paltan 22-16 Haryana Steelers

A strategic time-out has been taken here and Haryana has leapt their way back into the game. Trailing 14-21 at one point, they are now trailing by just six points and it could have well been seven if not for the defender to make a mistake and give a point to the Pune team. 10 minutes to go now. 

Puneri Paltan 21-14 Haryana Steelers

Mohit Goyat makes a mistake in defence. This is not his area of expertise and courtesy of that the lead is down to to six points and just right then Aslam Inamdar comes with a leaping hand touch and gets the Puine lead back to seven points now. 

Puneri Paltan 18-11 Haryana Steelers

The first all-out of the game has come and Puineri Paltan now has a seven-point lead in the final which is a huge one considering how experienced they are in their defence. Can Haryana make a comeback?

Puneri Paltan 14-10 Haryana Steelers

Mohit Goyat utilises his experience and gets the point on the do-or-die raid and once again it is Puneri Paltan who have started on a positive note in the second half. 

Puneri Paltan 13-10 Haryana Steelers

Haryana made a comeback right at the half-time mark as after being just one man on the mat, they got three back-to-back points courtesy of Super Raid from the substitute who got a point and bonus and then a point in yet another riad. 

Pune did not review the call on Salma Inamdar’s riad, had they done it, it would have been Haryan one man on the mat again. But it is 13-10 in favour of Pune at half-time. 

Puneri Paltan 13-7 Haryana Steelers

Haryana Steelers have reviewed the call by the umpire who has given it a Super Raid in favour of Pankaj Mohite and Puneri Paltan.

Just three players ion the mat for the Puneri Paltan side and they must get a point here to make sure that the all-out doesn’t loom large on them. It is a do-or-die raid here and Mohit Goyat gets the point that was needed and Puneri is back with four people on the mat. 

Puneri Paltan 6-6 Haryana Steelers

The Haryana hurricanes got ahead just after the first tie-break, but they could not sustain it going further.
