Entering the final quarter of the game, the Bengal Warriorz had a one-point lead with their defense performing exceptionally. Keeping in tune with the seesaw nature of the game though, Gujarat Giants moved ahead again, courtesy of a Super Tackle with under seven minutes to go in the game.

Bengal Warriorz got themselves back in the driver’s seat as Nitesh Kumar completed his Hi-5 with a tackle on Guman Singh.
