Pro Kabaddi 2022 LIVE Score, Puneri Paltan vs U Mumba: PKL 9 Live Updates and Commentary, Pro Kabaddi Match 22

Puneri Paltan 30-28 U Mumba

Puneri Paltan bag their first win of the season as the Iranian duo of Fazel Atrachali and Mohammad Nabibakhsh steal the limelight. The Paltans avoided a couple of All Outs courtesy of some Super Tackles and the same was replicated by U Mumba as the match stayed even steven till the last ten minutes of the game with the scoreline reading 20-20. 

However, a timeout broke the concentration of U Mumba defense as Rinku inflicted a self Out while Aslam Inamdar tagged the last man Surinder Singh to inflict the first and only All Out for Puneri Paltan. The four-point lead quickly became a seven-point one courtesy of Sombir and Sanket Sawant's ankle holds coupled by Aslam Insamdar's flying hand touches.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live commentary of PKL Match No 22 Puneri Paltan vs U Mumba in today's first of our two Super Sunday encounters. This is your host Abhishek and I will be your eyes and ears for the contest. The match will start from 07:30 PM IST. 

The Paltans languish in the 11th spot in this twelve-team league with not a single victory to their name. They started their campaign with a 34-34 draw against Patna Pirates as Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar combined to score 15 raid points for the side. 

Against Bengaluru Bulls, Puneri Paltan put a commendable show in the second half but that was not enough as they fell short by two points in the end to lose the match 39-41. They were no match against Gujarat Giants in their previous encounter as they got thrashed by a 47-37 margin. 

U Mumba began PKL 2022 on a losing note as they succumbed to a 41-27 defeat to defending champions Dabang Delhi. However, they bounced back strongly to beat UP Yoddha 30-23 by picking up 14 tackle points. 

It was the raiders who stole the limelight in their next match against Tamil Thalaivas as Guman Singh and Ashish completed their 'Super 10' to beat the opposition 39-32. 

The action continues at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru between the two fierce Maharashtra sides. Who will come out on top, Mumbai or Pune?
