Even in the three wins its scored, two were contests won more because of the opposition’s mistakes than JPW’s excellence. Lancers, which finished runner-up last season, was a team with a plan and had the personnel to execute it. Upadhyay, Dharamvir and Adam Dixon were sharp in the attack, assisted by captain Moritz Fuerste playing far upfront. The result: Kalinga Lancers 7 (Adam Dixon 2 FG, Lalit Upadhyay 2 FG, Dharamvir Singh 2 FG, Moritz Fuerste 1 PC) bt Jaypee Punjab Warriors 0.
