The Giants knew that as long as they could keep their heads they would stay in the game and soon enough they turned the tables on the Steelers. A SUPER RAID by Parteek Dahiya to take out Mohit Nandal, Jaideep Dahiya and Rahul Sethpal cascaded into an ALL OUT for the Giants who hadn’t just fought back but also taken a one-point lead.

A battle of attrition followed in the last five minutes of the half, with the Steelers defence really coming to the fore, Mohit Nandal, in particular, thwarting the Giants’ attempts to extend the lead, and instead turning the tables on them. The Steelers went into the break leading 21-16.

From there the Steelers’ dominance grew steadily, and soon enough Vinay and Patare were grabbing points for fun. Vinay’s SUPER RAID to take out Sombir, Deepak Singh and D Balaji helped the Steelers to a third ALL OUT as they took a massive 36-19 lead going into the game’s final ten minutes. 

They thwarted any slim chance the Giants harbored of registering a comeback, Vinay and Mohit Nandal both adamant not just to ensure the victory but also extend its margin. They ended up with a massive 17 points to qualify for the Semi-finals.
