The second half began with both teams refusing to give an inch. It was a low-scoring aggair in the second half. In the first four minutes both teams scored three tackle and raid points each as it was 19-19 after 16 minutes. Shrikant Jadhav was the raider for U Mumba who got points with critical raids. Both teams weren’t willing to take any chances as it was 20-20 after 28 minutes.

No all out was inflicted in the second half as it was a conservative affair with teams exchanging raid and tackle points one after the other. With less than five minutes to go it was all square at 25-25. Shrikant Jadhav scored a critical raid point in the last minute and Kashiling Adake scored with a tackle point as U Mumba won 30-28 in the end.
