While the comeback was exciting, Dynamix Achievers must be heartbroken. They played so well for three chukkers. Daniel Otamendi's hat-trick deserved a better result.

Shivangi Jai Singh scoring for Dynamix shows how women are making their mark in polo too! More power to female players in traditionally male-dominated sports! 💪
