Jugraj (17th, 38th) converted two penalty corners, while Sukhjeet Singh (1st) and Abhishek (47th) struck from field play for Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers. Delhi's lone goal was scored from a penalty corner by Gareth Furlong in the 53rd minute.

In Delhi's previous two matches, both of which went to the shootouts, they won the first while losing the second. The win, their third straight, propelled Bengal Tigers to the top of the points table.
