Gujarat dominated right from the first whistle and gave Haryana's defence no chance to stamp their authority.
Defenders Manjeet Chhillar and Krishan scored high 5s for the Delhi side who moved to the top of the points table with the result.
It was a complete team performance from the Pirates with all three raiders contributing in the match.
It was an evenly-contested battle between the two teams that saw skipper Vikash Kandola leading from the front and earning his fifth Super 10 of the season.
The first half saw the lead see-sawing between the two sides. Haryana Steelers’ defence was certainly in the groove as Mohit and Jaideep thwarted the Pune raiders.
Chhillar, the defender with most tackle points in PKL history, produced a last-raid tackle to clinch the thriller for Delhi, who were once again without the services of their star raider Naveen Kumar.
Gill (21 points) and Pardeep Narwal (10 points) scored Super 10s for Yoddha in a match, which had way too many defensive errors.
Patna defenders Sunil (9 points) and Mohammadreza Shadloui (3 points) were instrumental in setting up a defensive wall that even the likes of Pawan Sehrawat could not break.
Surjeet produced two Super Tackles to pick up his High 5 but Bengal eventually got their 'All Out' with seven minutes to the interval.
The 39-point victory was the second biggest win in PKL history and helped the Bulls jump to the top of the points table.
Inamdar scored a Super 10 (17 points) while Abinesh Nadarajan clinched a High 5 (5 tackle points) for Paltan who had a near-flawless performance on the mat.

The team from Tamil Nadu have had an impressive start to the season with captain Surjeet Singh and Sagar marshalling the defence.
The star raider scored 18 points, including one for a tackle, to help the Bulls regain that top spot on the points table.
It was a team effort led by Monu Goyat (7 points) and Sachin (6 points) that helped the Pirates to register a narrow win in a closely contested match against Titans.
Maninder scored 13 points while Nabibakhsh fetched 10, including a last-minute Super Tackle, to help Bengal overcome a stiff challenge from Jaipur.
While Kumar had 11 points from 14 raids, Singh managed 10 points from 22 raids as U Mumba recorded their second win of the season. For Jaipur Pink Panthers, Arjun Deshwal was the only shining star as he picked up 14 points but sadly lacked support from his teammates.
The raider scored 15 points in the match to help U Mumba take a lead after trailing for long periods, but a last-minute blunder by the season 2 champions helped Thalaivas escape with a tie, their second of the season.
Tamil Thalivas will aim to get their first win of the season in the match against U Mumba while UP Yodha and Jaipur Pink Panthers will look to claim their second win of PKL 2021-22 on Monday.
Telugu Titans made a remarkable comeback to stun Tamil Thalaivas as they drew the game by 40-40 in the second match of Day 1 of the Pro Kabaddi League season 8 held at The Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, here on Wednesday.
