U Mumba rolled past Bengal Warriorz 48‑29 in Chennai, turning a strong first‑half advantage into a hard‑fought victory.
The match, held at the SDAT Multi‑Purpose Indoor Stadium, saw U Mumba’s raiders Ajit Chouhan and Sandeep hit a pair of Super 10s early. Their quick, accurate raids set a five‑point cushion that the Warriorz never clawed back from.
Bengal Warriorz’s star, Devank Dalal, made history by becoming the fastest player to reach 500 raid points in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) history. He also notched a Super 10, the 12th in a row, but his efforts were left unanswered as the Warriorz had no teammates to support him in the attack.
Defensively, Sunil Kumar and Zafardanesh anchored U Mumba’s back‑row. Their disciplined tackling forced a moment‑to‑moment rhythm for Bengal, and a key tackle by Zafardanesh on Manjeet caused an All Out that pushed the Wildcats even further ahead. In the second half, Sunil’s powerful tackle on Vishwas S. produced another All Out, sealing the win for the Tigers.
Bengal Warriorz could only mount three brief stints of resistance, with Devank and Himanshu Narwal splitting time on the counters, and Manjeet’s Super Tackle briefly lifting the side. Yet U Mumba’s defense re‑established control after each spark, keeping the Warriors from finding a rhythm.
The final scoreline of 48‑29 puts U Mumba firmly in the upper ranks of the PKL standings. It also shows how a well‑coordinated handful of raiders, backed by a fierce defensive line, can dominate a match.
Key moments of the game:
- Super 10s by Ajit Chouhan and Sandeep – early double‑digit raid scores gave U Mumba a lead they never lost.
- Devank Dalal’s 500‑point milestone – fastest in PKL history, but no support to push Bengal forward.
- Sunil Kumar’s tackles – two exact‑timed All Outs that shifted momentum in U Mumba’s favour.
- Warriors’ faltering defence – unable to keep up with U Mumba’s cohesive raiding unit.
This win shows U Mumba’s growing consistency in the 12th season of the Pro Kabaddi League, and it highlights how teamwork matters more than individual brilliance alone. The Tigers now look to keep this form as they face their next opponent on the PKL calendar.
