Full Time : Haryana Steelers 35- 22 Gujarat Giants

Well well! The Haryana Steelers have shown absolute domination tonight and they've stormed into the fourth spot in the points table. They've humbled the Gujarat Giants by a margin of 13 points and they were the superior side in terms of both attack and defense.

The Gujarat team was in the game for the initial part of the first half but they lost their way post the 10 minute mark and could never really come back from there onwards. Vinay had 9 points to his name and he was the best raider for the Steelers. He was given good company by Naveen and Jaya Soorya who picked up 7 points in between them. However it was the Iranian Super Star Shadloui who changed the game for them. 

He picked up three raid points and three tackle points and had the perfect night as the all-rounder in the side. Sanjay, the defender also had four points to his name. For the Gujarat Giants, it was Guman Singh who kept fighting alone. He picked up 10 raid points and even had a tackle point as he played his part in the defense too. However there wasn't a lot from the rest of the Giants side. 

Prateek Dahiya and Aadesh Siwach were in for the much of the second half as Guman took the back seat but the raider duo couldn't make much of a difference. Jitender Yadav was good in the defense early on but was benched in the second half. Himanshu Singh too, failed to do his job and had too many empty raids. 

Overall, it was a superb game of Kabaddi where Attack dominated the defense. The Haryana Steelers were unstoppable as an unit and with Vinay and Shadloui they easily triumphed over the Gujarat Giants who didn't have much except for Guman Singh. The loss will mean that the Giants remain in the 12th spot in the points table while the Steelers move into the third position.
