Pune dominated the match from the beginning with Aslam Inamdar and Nitin Tomar impressing in their raids. After a cautious start to the match, Nitin Tomar produced a stunning 3-point Super Raid in the 13th minute to initiate Pune’s charge for an ALL OUT; they clinched it eventually with 4 minutes to interval and opened a 4-point lead. 

Mumbai looked disjointed as a unit, clearly missing V Ajith Kumar’s presence in the raiding department. Abhishek Singh tried his best to help Mumbai keep themselves in touching distance with Pune but the half ended 18-10 in favor of Pune. 

Despite coach Anup Kumar’s advice to slow down raids, Aslam Inamdar produced a 3-point Super Raid at the start of the second half as Pune got their second ALL OUT in the 4th minute of the second half.

Pune opened up a 17-point lead with 10 minutes remaining as Vishal Bhardwaj and Baldev Singh ensured their corners remained raid-proof. They got another ALL OUT immediately after the first Time Out as Vishal Bhardwaj picked his High 5. The experienced Nitin Tomar picked up a High 5 in the closing stages as Pune won the Maharashtra derby convincingly.
