With attacker Nandhagopal going nice weapons for the Defenders, it seemed troublesome for the Torpedoes at this stage. With the scores at 13-13, Sethu pulled off an excellent level with a neatly executed smash earlier than Angamuthu, who was largely constant all through the competition, faltered.
Ahmedabad routed Bengaluru within the first two units as setter Muthusamy Appavu set it up splendidly for attackers Nandha and Max Senica. Ilya Burau and Shikhar Singh did effectively to neutralise the assault of Sethu.
