The second game was played between home team UP Yoddha and Haryana Steelers at the same Arena. UP looks like they are finding it tough winning a game in a home leg, as they were defeated again today by 7 points playing Steelers.

This was a last minute thriller where the Steelers star raider Vikas Khandola breaks the equilibrium and they beat Yoddhas by 29 – 36. The first half was in the hands of home team and were leading with 3 points (15 – 12), but Rishank’s failure in the second half and small mistakes in the defense is what put them of back foot allowing Steelers to take game away from them.
