That helped Telugu Titans level the score, and they carried on that momentum to move into the lead as Ashish Narwal executed a Super Raid, closing out the half with a score of 17-15.

The Gujarat Giants regained their lead with Parteek finding his groove with a two-point raid, finally helping his side register an ALL OUT on the opposition.
