33-31: Do-or-die raid for Jaipur AND IT'S SUPER-RAID! BONUS PLUS TWO POINTS FOR GUMAN SINGH! HE HAS GOTTEN TWO TOUCH POINTS FOR SURE off Sagar, M. Abishek. THALAIVAS CHALLENGE THE CALL, CLAIMING NO BONUS. REPLAY SHOWS CLEAR BONUS AND THE ORIGINAL DECISION STANDS. REVIEW UNSUCCESSFUL.

25-22: Lokesh Kaushik has been ruled out of bounds by the referees and one point is given to Thalaivas.
