Puneri Paltan went into the match as underdog as Rahul Chaudhari was missing from the squad, but got off to a good start. The young raiding duo of Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar regularly found chinks in the Bengaluru armour and the defence led by the experienced corners in Baldev and Vishal Bharadwaj ensured the Bulls got no easy points. Puneri Paltan inflicted an All Out in th 15th minute and had six-point lead at the interval.

However, it was all one-way traffic in the second half as Pawan took matters into his own hands and grabbed point after point that led to Bengaluru Bulls inflicting an All Out in the 29th minute. Bengaluru Bulls clinched another All Out with six minutes remaining and opened a 12-point lead. Puneri Paltan struggled to cope with Bulls' onslaught and the lack of experienced players cost the side dear as it fizzled away at the death.
