The two matches today saw important players from both teams having to spend time outside the mat, with the opposition taking advantage of their absence.

Manjeet Chhillar was crucially dismissed on a do or die raid, forcing him to miss the extremely important last five minutes against Gujarat.

The Fortunegiants capitalised on his absence and took the match away from the home side in that time, effecting a couple of important raids to eventually win by six points.

In the second match, despite spending about 25 minutes off the mat, Bengal Warriors' Maninder Singh stepped up when it mattered, getting two crucial touches and enforcing an all out, helping his team score four points.

That increased their lead to seven points, with just over three minutes left in the match, giving them a huge advantage that they used to win the match.
