Deshwal and Ajith's raiding prowess was only one end of the battle. At the other end, the Jaipur defence was rock solid facing Narender, allowing the young raider just a single point in the entire half from his eight raids. The Pink Panthers went into the break leading 20-13.
The Pink Panthers rode on the momentum and inflicted an all-out in the opening minutes of the second half. The Jaipur defence proved to be too strong for the Yoddhas as they failed to effect raids consistently.
