Kolkata again suffered early on due to an off-colour of their captain Dinesh who had to be replaced after drawing a blank in six raids. The winners also replaced Mahendra Rajput but the move to bring on Vineet Sharma didn’t bear fruit. But Sunil Jaipal made amends for his earlier failures by claiming four victims in two raids that eventually facilitated the only all-out of the match. Pune had been successful in staving it off at least three times.
With their star raider Wazir Singh playing with an injury and Yogesh Hudda also not fully fit Pune were without any fire power in attack. Despite that they were lucky to keep the margin of defeat by less than seven points. With this defeat all hopes of Pune of making it to the top four have ended.
