It was a cautious start to the second half from both sides until Bhavani Rajput was on the right side of a do-or-die Raid, ensuring the UP Yoddhas stayed in the lead. Pankaj Mohite returned the favour, getting two points in a do-or-die Raid to help close the gap for Puneri Paltan before Aryavardhan Navale evened things up at 20-20 with ten minutes to go in the game.
