Winning the toss, Gujarat chose the court, which meant Delhi came to raid first. After one round of empty raid, Meraj Sheykh opened the tally for Delhi with a running hand touch on Gujarat skipper Sukesh Hegde. Sachin then earned two points in a single go - one bonus and one raid point - which helped Gujarat level the game at 3-3. But Delhi surged ahead in the game as Ravi Pahal managed to get a point before Meraj Sheykh secured a point to give Delhi lead at 5-3. However, Gujarat didn’t let Delhi stay ahead for a longer period of time to level the game at 6-6. Hegde then picked up the thread and secured two points from his raid and sent Yatharth and Sheykh to the bench to give the hosts a two-point lead at 9-7. In the next do or die raid, Delhi’s R Sriram managed to get a hand touch on the cover defender to reduce the deficit to one point. But in the next do-or-die raid, Sriram failed to recreate the same magic as he was thrown out of the mat by Abozar Mighani before Sachin Tanwar was sent to warm the bench by Ravi Dalal, who put up a strong thigh hold. But in the dying stages of the first half, Fazel Atrachalli stepped off the court thereby gifting a point to Delhi as the first half ended with 10-10.

Last minute nerve helps Gujarat win their second game at home
