Bengal Warriorz roared back into the game, levelling things up at six-all, as Fazel Atrachali and Nitin Kumar got their team back into the mix.
It didn’t take Gujarat Giants too long to extend their lead back to four points as Himanshu Singh got the better of Fazel Atrachali on a successful Do-or-Die Raid.
