So there it is. It was a result that had become more than apparent when Shehrawat went on overdrive in those four minutes in the first half and Bengaluru kept calm and saw it all through.
Devadiga with a two-point raid to get into the 20s. Just under 4 minutes to go though so it will take a lot from UP to get back here.
A few succesfull raids for UP Yoddha and they bring the deficit back down to seven after it had increased to 15 at one point. Bengaluru Bulls won't mind this at all.
UP with just three men left in the mat, Bengaluru with all six. Things are not looking good for the home side at all right now.
It has now become a 10-point lead and Bengaluru Bulls can take it easy in their raids now. Rohit Kumar goes in and doesn't act too adventurous.
In less than five minutes, Shehrawat has practically put this match beyond UP's reach. My goodness, Bengaluru Bulls have unearthed a gem here.
Quite a close start this. Both sides sweating it out in an attempt to get a clear lead. Pawan Shehrawat's two point raid early on kept Bengaluru two points ahead but a review for a bonus point raid brought UP back level.
There it is! Ravinder Pahal ends with a six tackle points after a Super Tackle in the end that put the result beyond doubt. An admirable performance from Dabang Delhi this.
Delhi maintain the distance this time. Monu Goyat has reached his Super 10 so that is good news for the Steelers that he has got back in his groove. But Haryana are leaking points.
Once again, Delhi look like they are running away with this one. Meraj is imperious in his raids but the defenders are playing an equally important role.
Super Raid from Meraj Sheyk abd Delhi have taken a slender lead. They have the momentum on their side now that's six points in less than five minutes and zero for Haryana.
How about that for a turnaround. In the first 10 minutes, it looked like this might be another frustrating evening for Haryana but Monu Goyat and Vikas Khandola has taken the game by the horns.
Wow, an all out inflicted on Delhi and suddenly, Haryana are ahead. Monu Goyat seems to have found his mojo again. He has made 6 raids and scored 5 points so far.
Kandola is leading a revival here. Two succesfull raids and after that Monu Goyat, who has been subbed in, also raided succesfully.
Well, Meraj Sheyk has not been good news for Haryana and they are not able to recover the points they are losing. Same old trouble with them.
Not great news for Haryana Steelers early on. They have to rest Monu Goyat as captain. He struggled in the previous game against Jaipur Pink Panthers, scoring just 4 raiding points. Vikash Khandola, who scored a Super 10 against Jaipur is leading the team. Goyat named among substitutes.
