It was an electric start to the big evening, with the Haryana Steelers picking up the first few points and the lead in the early exchanges. Devank and Ankit were fighting away for the Patna Pirates, but it was the Haryana Steelers, who were dictating terms and controlling the tempo, with Shivam Patare and Mohammadreza Shadloui doing the heavy lifting.

The Haryana Steelers’ defence, led by Jaideep and Rahul Sethpal, showed exactly why they are considered one of the best units in PKL 11, as they made scoring extremely tough for the Patna Pirates. However, as the half progressed, Gurdeep and Sudhakar brought the Patna Pirates back to within touching distance of their opponents.

Devank and Ayan then levelled things up, before Shivam Patare and Vinay put the Haryana Steelers in the box seat, after which the Season 10 runners-up continued to build on further. At the half-time break, the Haryana Steelers led 15-12 in this high-stakes PKL 11 final.

The second half started off slower than the first, with the Patna Pirates picking up the first points through Sudhakar. The Haryana Steelers had done well to keep Devank and Ayan quiet so far, but the three-time champions were fighting back in this gripping PKL 11 contest.

However, the show-stopper Shadloui was scoring crucial points, as was Jaideep, which kept the Haryana Steelers in the hunt for their first title in the history of PKL 11. Close to the half-hour mark, the Haryana Steelers had a three-point lead, which had the game on a knife-edge.

After that, the Haryana Steelers started to turn the screws on their opponents, landing the first ALL OUT of the game. The Show Stopper Shadloui was in his element, as the Haryana Steelers stormed into a 9-point lead in the PKL 11 final. In the final minutes, the Haryana Steelers managed the game and the clock brilliantly and slammed the door shut on any hopes of a comeback.

At the end of the forty minutes, the Haryana Steelers walked off the mat with the win, which gave them their first-ever PKL title and etched their name in PKL 11 history.
