The Gujarat Fortunegiants emerged victorious in a crunch match against the Puneri Paltan.

2. Zone A Toppers

The debutants once again punched above their weight as they emerged victors with a 23-22 scoreline at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune. Gujarat’s Sunil Kumar and Pune’s Rinku Narwal both finished with 7 points in a defender-dominated clash. With this win, Gujarat finished at the top of Zone A and will now face Zone B toppers Bengal Warriors in Qualifier 1, the winner of which will reach the final.

It was no holds barred between both the teams in the early stages with the Gujarat raiders and the Pune tacklers doing the job for their respective teams. The lead kept changing hands and the teams stayed tied at 8-8 in the 12th minute.
