The first 10 minutes of the match were tightly contested, with the Bengaluru side enjoying a slight advantage. However, Pawan stepped up yet again to reduce the Titans to one man on the mat.

Ankit Beniwal came off the bench to keep them in the game but Rohit Kumar mopped up the two defenders left to complete the all out with six minutes to go in the second half and handed his side a sizeable advantage at 19-8.

However, Armaan of the Titans struck back for his team with a super raid just two minutes later, getting rid of Pawan Sehrawat, Mohit Sehrawat and Amit Sheoran.

Despite the comeback from the Telugu side, it was the Bulls yet again who went into the break with their tails up thanks to skipper Rohit Kumar. The raider picked up three successful raids in a row and ensured his team had the upper hand after the first half as the scoreline read 21-14.
