The second half began with Patna going on the attack but Delhi’s defenders held their nerves, taking them closer towards achieving an all-out. Patna’s Guman Singh had other ideas, he got two valuable points to delay the inevitable.
Dabang Delhi’s Vijay secured a 3-point Super Raid to sustain the pressure during the match. With only 10 minutes remaining in the final, the scores were level at 24-24.
Naveen clinched his super 10 soon after the first time out. The Dabangs continued to dominate the mat and inflicted an all out with 6 minutes remaining to open a 2-point lead.
