Half Time: Puneri Paltan 19-13 Haryana Steelers

The defending champions showed their class and started the season with a solid display in both attacks and defense.

The match had a slow start as both teams were a bit cautious in attack but the Puneri Palrtan turned the match with a couple of good raids and then induced an all-out to grab a 5+ points lead.

Defender Gaurav Khatri was the star man for Puneri as he completed his high five in the first half itself meanwhile the Iranian Shadoui of Haryana was kept on bay by Puneri's raiders.
