The first all out of the game was registered to the name of the Patna Pirates, courtesy of a two-point raid by Ayan.

A see-saw of a match from the get-go, this time it was Devank who reached his Super 10 with a Super Raid for the Patna Pirates. It was a gutsy move from young raider who made the most of the do-or-die raid, which shifted the lead back to his team.
