The contest saw spectacular performances from both teams, but it was Jaipur’s captain Arjun Deshwal who starred with 15 points, guiding his team to a crucial win.

The second half began cautiously, as both teams seemed wary of making any errors. Fazel Atrachali continued to marshal Bengal’s defense, but Arjun Deshwal’s clinical raiding kept Jaipur in control. With 10 minutes remaining, Abhijeet Malik once again came to Jaipur’s rescue, inflicting another ALL OUT to widen their lead to 29-25.
In the final minutes, Bengal Warriorz mounted a fierce comeback, driven by the outstanding efforts of Nitin Dhankar. However, a crucial super tackle by Jaipur’s Abhishek KS dashed Bengal’s hopes, sealing a thrilling victory for the Panthers.
