Himanshu Singh's tackle eventually brought the scores level at 33-33. The Steelers, however, held their nerve in the closing stages. Rahul Sethpal, Shivam Patare, and Sahil Narwal combined on defence to restore a four-point lead with just two minutes remaining. The Giants refused to give in, as Shridhar Kadam struck with a multi-point raid to reduce the gap to two. With the clock winding down, the Steelers relied on their experience to deny the Giants any late surge. Vinay applied the finishing touches, sealing victory as the PKL11 champions clinched a closely fought contest. (ANI)
