The Titans began with purpose as Vijay Malik led their charge, contributing in both raids and tackles, while Bharat added valuable support in attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the Giants, Rakesh was in fine form, finding gaps in the Titans\u2019 defence to keep his team in the hunt. Lucky Sharma\u2019s sharp tackles proved crucial in halting Telugu\u2019s raiders, maintaining parity through the first exchanges. At the 10-minute mark, the contest remained finely poised at 6-6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The contest remained finely balanced through the next phase of play.
