The first round of the day witnessed quite a few lopsided contests with Maharashtra collecting their second win of the competition, a massive 58-20 win against Gujarat which preceded Railways’ 45-15 win over Andhra. Uttarakhand picked up from where they left off yesterday with a resounding 51-23 win over Punjab while Jharkhand could not muster up a win against a strong Rajasthan outfit, falling to a 23-45 loss at full-time.
In the next round, Bihar stunned Tamil Nadu with a gigantic effort that saw the team from down south crumble to a 27-39 loss while Himachal Pradesh put in an improved performance following yesterday’s loss to register a 44-18 win against a listless BSNL side.
Odisha finally managed to muster a 49-39 victory against Assam after consecutive losses from their previous encounters as Gujarat closed out the round with a convincing 44-37 win over Pondicherry.
As the evening set in, Andhra’s inspiring performance saw them overcoming Chhattisgarh’s stiff competition to win the humdinger of a contest by a 44-43 margin while Punjab had it easy against a failing Tripura side and won the contest by a big 60-15 margin.
BSNL finally found some luck going in their favour after two losses in a row with a 41-34 win against Manipur before Bihar held their nerves in a tense game to come out on top with a 45-43 win against Chandigarh.
In the penultimate round of the day, a star-studded Haryana outfit made short work of their clash against Assam and converted their huge first-half lead to win 47-26 and maintain an unbeaten record in the competition. Maharashtra too continued their loss-less campaign with another win against Pondicherry, a 48-23 win that will certainly hold them in good stead ahead of the knockouts.
Against Tripura, who endured a woeful run in the competition, Pardeep Narwal’s Uttarakhand completed yet another comprehensive victory, a dominating 33-6 victory while Railways’ monstrous 46-15 win against Chhattisgarh culminated to the end of that round’s clashes.
In the final round of the day, Ajay Thakur’s Himachal Pradesh romped home to a 46-33 win against Manipur and a strong performance from the big names in the Tamil Nadu line-up saw them finish with a 44-26 win against Chandigarh in the last game of the round robin stages.
