Ashu Malik Shines with 16 Points in Dabang Delhi’s Win
Dabang Delhi’s ace raider, Ashu Malik, gave a game-changing performance by grabbing a total of 16 points, including vital raids and strategic plays that aided his team to stay undefeated. His overall contribution, coupled with Ajinkya Pawar’s solid defense and raiding, proved to be the turning point for Dabang Delhi’s authoritative victory over Bengal Warriorz.
Neeraj Narwal’s Surprise Opening Sets the Pace for Dabang Delhi
There was a surprise twist at the beginning, with Neeraj Narwal, not Ashu Malik, giving Dabang Delhi a flying start. Narwal’s excellent multi-point raid left Parteek and Mayur Kadam off the mat, providing Delhi with a quick lead. Ashu Malik soon joined the fray as Parteek was shown the door for the second time, keeping pressure on Bengal Warriorz.
Bengal Warriorz’s Determined Battle Headed by Devank Dalal
Bengal Warriorz initiated a strong battle with Dhaakad Devank Dalal leading from the front with excellent craftsmanship evident from his multiple successful raids, including the two dismissals of Surjeet Singh.
Regardless of their efforts, the Warriorz were unable to keep up with the constant barrage of Dabang Delhi. A Super Raid by Ajinkya Pawar sent Parteek, Ashish Malik, and Vishwas S home, pushing Delhi further ahead in the match.
Devank Dalal’s continued resilience, including a Super 10, kept Bengal Warriorz within striking distance, but Dabang Delhi’s defense, led by Fazel Atrachali and Ajinkya Pawar, was too strong. The scores were close at 10-9 as the first half approached its conclusion.
Dabang Delhi’s All-Round Performance Dominates in the First Half
In a few costly mistakes and defensive lapses, Dabang Delhi seized the moment and inflicted an early ALL OUT in the 4th minute of the match. This gave Dabang Delhi a commanding 10-point advantage, which they maintained into half-time at 23-14.
Each player had their growth moments, especially Ajinkya Pawar, who floated seamlessly between raiding and defending, Ashu Malik’s timely raids and successful tallies and plenty of wealth, provided Dabang Delhi with an excellent cushion to work with going into the half.
