Bengal Warriors vs U Mumba - Match Result

The entire offense of Bengal Warriors played well with Sukesh leading the charge with 8 raid points. Rinku Narwal and Jeeva Kumar had a decent outing with 3 and 2 tackle points.

U Mumba has a rock-solid defense led by the Sultan, Fazel Atrachali. Their raiders in Abhishek Singh and Arjun Deshwal have been resourceful entire season as they take on Bengal's sturdy defense. Arjun Deshwal has 2 Super-10s in two matches played versus Bengal Warriors.

Bengal Warriors have beaten U Mumba twice this season. Both encounters ended on a close finish but Bengal have always capitalized against U Mumba. One of the most consistent teams of Season 7, Bengal Warriors will rely upon their flamboyant raiders with a young line of defense.
