The first half began with Bengaluru looking sharp but a series of clever raids by Haryana's Prashanth Kumar Rai meant the Steelers took control of the match. Vikas Kandola, playing in front of his home crowd, was instrumental in helping Steelers clinch an "All-Out" in the 8th minute of the match. But with the end of All-out, ended Haryana's dominance as Pawan invoked his best raids to single-handedly change the tie in Bulls favor. His jump over a defensive chain in the 9th minute set the tone for a first-half blitzkrieg, reminiscent of his heroics in Season 6 finals, that saw the defending champions inflict two "All-Outs"(one in 12th minute and other in 18th minute of the half) on the Steelers to extend their lead to 26-17. In keeping with the theme of the half, Sehrawat ended the opening period with a point and the record for most points by a raider in the first half as Bengaluru Bulls went into the break with a 28-18 lead.

The first point of the second period was predictably a Sehrawat raid point, while Rai scored Haryana Steelers opening points of the half. Containing Sehrawat, however, was proving to be an unsolvable puzzle for Haryana Steelers as they struggled to come up with an answer for the 'Hi-Flyer'. A three-point raid by him helped usher in another All-out on Haryana Steelers in the 33rd minute of the game.

Pawan Sehrawat crossed his 600th raid point mark and  finished with a total of 281 raid points from 20 matches in this season.

The defending champions enforced a fourth All-out with a little over two minutes left on the clock, while Pawan Sehrawat continued to score raid points effortlessly till the final whistle as they registered a comfortable win to seal their playoffs berth.
