With Elevation too boasting of some big names like Dhruvpal Godara and Satinder Garcha, it was never going to be a one-sided contest and it stayed that way till the very end, with IPG winning by 8½ goals to 7.

In another Pool A match, Sahara Warriors got the better of Action Polo by a solitary-goal margin. Action Polo got off to a good start with three goals in the first chukkar, but the Warriors came back strongly to win 7-5.

Results: IPG 8-½ (Himmat Singh Bedla 1, Bhawani Kalvi 4, Lokendra Singh 3, half-a-goal on handicap) bt Elevation 7 (Satinder Garcha 1, Hissam Hyder 3, Dhruvpal Godara 3).

Sahara Warriors 7 (Chris Mackenzie 2, Samir Suhag 4, Adhiraj Singh 1) bt Action Polo 5 (Gaurav Sahgal 1, Abhimanyu Pathak 2, Manupal Godhara 3).
