Telugu Titans, competing for the last time on home turf, got off to a quicker start than Haryana Steelers, with K Hanumanthu and Mohsen Maghsoudlou getting things started.

From then on, Rakesh and Nitin Rawal scored at will even as Telugu Titans fought tooth and nail to stay in the game. But the troika of Vinay, Rakesh and Nitin had their plans, and the teams went into the break with Haryana Steelers leading Telugu Titans 26-11.
Haryana Steelers started the second half with a much-changed lineup but had Telugu Titans on the mat from the start. Soon after the beginning of the second period, Rakesh scored his super ten while Harsh made his mark in defence, and Haryana Steelers extended their lead.
With just under ten minutes to go, Haryana Steelers led by 23 points, and although Telugu Titans had Abhishek Singh in their ranks, it didn't look like a comeback was possible.
