Bengal Warriorz vs U Mumba: U Mumba beat Bengal Warriorz 48-29 in a thrilling contest at the SDAT Multi Purpose Indoor Stadium on Friday night. Super 10s from Ajit Chouhan and Sandeep, along with a brilliant defensive show by Sunil Kumar, propelled U Mumba to their dominant win.
The game was also a historical milestone for Devank Dalal, who became the quickest player to achieve 500 raid points in Pro Kabaddi League history, but his individual talent could not propel Bengal Warriorz to success.
Match Overview: Bengal Warriorz vs U Mumba
U Mumba kicked off this key match with real fire. Their raiders, Ajit Chouhan and Sandeep, just took over right from the jump. That pressure in the raids, plus their sharp skills, helped build up a five-point lead quickly.
Meanwhile, the defence, led by Sunil Kumar and Zafardanesh, kept squeezing the Warriorz side hard. Bengal Warriorz came out looking off balance. They struggled to break through U Mumba’s tight setup early on.
Devank Dalal’s Historic Milestone
One of the big highlights in that match had to be Devank Dalal pulling off this record. He hit 500 raid points in PKL history faster than anyone before.
Still, even with all that raiding talent and him showing up steady, the Bengal Warriorz just couldn’t get much help from their other top guys. Himanshu Narwal got a few solid raids in there, you know. But overall, the whole team didnt have enough spark to keep up with U Mumbas energy.
