After falling behind by a big margin at the end of the first half, Yoddhas mounted a fightback in the second with Narwal doing some good work.

However, the margin proved too huge for Yoddhas and the Warriors also ensured that they didn't get complacent and held firm for a creditable victory.

Maninder Singh was one of the stars for the Warriors as the team took a stranglehold of proceedings, even as the Yodhas were left wondering what hit them. In the first half, Maninder was the star for Warriors with several raid points as they secured an impressive 22-8 lead at the break.

The Warriors had 12 raid points to five for the Yoddhas and also had four tackle points to boot.
