In one of the most dominant final performances in YKS history, the Tuskers triumphed 42-15. The match began on an even note, with both teams exchanging the lead during the first 10-15 minutes. However, Palani Tuskers accelerated their game in the latter stages of the first half, establishing an 18-10 lead by halftime.
