The score was level at the final whistle and Swiss Re triumphed at the penalty shoot-outs, beating BOSCH 3-2. Arun Kumar and Arun Roy scored for BOSCH, while Sharan Deepak Melwani, Sagar A and Anand Krishnamurthy got the goals for Swiss Re.

In the third quarter final game, Wissen beat Tavant 1-0. In a close game, it was Akash Mali who put Wissen in front in the second half. Wissen slowed the game down and comfortably defended their one goal lead against a tough Tavant attack.

In the final quarter final game of the day, Epsilon were unlucky to lose by a slim margin to IQVIA. Epsilon dominated the game and had several chances but failed to convert any. The only goal of the game was scored by Avinash Acharya for IQVIA.
