FULL TIME! U Mumba 49-41 Bengal Warriors

An enthralling, high-scoring encounter and U Mumba break their three-match losing streak to pocket this contest! Maninder Singh and the defense fired for the Warriors but they were just undone by a superb all-round showing by U Mumba. Guman Singh and Ashish notching up Super 10s each while Rinku scored yet another High 5 to get U Mumba's campaign back on track. A win that will do a world of good to U Mumba and their confidence while the Warriors will rue the fact that they could not take even a solitary point from this encounter. 

40' Manoj Gowda goes in for the last raid of the game and it is Harendra Kumar who puts in an ankle hold from which the raider escapes and returns back to his half.

39' WHEW! SUPER RAID! Guman Singh with monstrous raid! Ventures deep in the centre position and both corner chains run around for a tackle. In the end, it is Girish Ernak, Balaji D and Vaibhav Garje who have to return back to the bench as Guman absolutely bulldozes his way back to the midline.

31' Do-or-die raid for U Mumba and Ashish surprisingly comes in for it. Manoj Gowda runs around for an advance dash but Ashish gets in a touch on Manoj's shoulder. Whew! A point to U Mumba.

However, Bengal Warriors review! They believe that Ashish had stepped into the lobby without a touch as there was no touch on Manoj Gowda or perhaps, Ashish had stepped into the lobby before getting the touch. It is a very, very close matter and in the end, the decision goes in favour of U Mumba. Review unsuccessful!

U Mumba 29-26 Bengal Warriors

25' Guman Singh tries to run around Girish Ernak's attempted block but the sheer power of the left corner defender ensures that he is thrown out of bounds. However, even Shrikant Jadhav, who was assisting has gone out of bounds. A bonus and a point awarded to U Mumba, a single point awarded to the Warriors. 

25' Maninder Singh entices Mohit into going for the ankle hold and it is far too easy for Maninder to escape.

U Mumba 27-24 Bengal Warriors

HALF TIME! U Mumba 23-21 Bengal Warriors

Whew! What an exhilarating half of kabaddi we have been treated to! It all started with U Mumba taking what was quite a substantial lead but just like they have time and again done, the Mumbai franchise squandered it, conceding an all-out which let the Warriors back into the game. Mind you, it was not conceded easily though, which explains the two-point gap that still exists between the teams. Maninder Singh and Shrikant Jadhav are keeping the Warriors in the hunt while for U Mumba, it is Guman Singh and Ashish doing the honours along with Rinku. A game that has ebbed and flowed and promises to have a tight finish. Who will emerge on top? Stick around to find out!

16' Shrikant Jadhav runs around and picks up a running hand touch on Rahul Sethpal to reduce U Mumba to just a solitary man.

14' Do-or-die raid for the Bengal Warriors and it is Maninder Singh who comes in for it. And it is U Mumba who execute their favourite type of tackle! SUPER TACKLE! An ankle hold by Rinku Sharma and the rest of the defenders run around to stop him. Well, turns out Mohit had ended up going out of bounds as well while executing the tackle so two points have been awarded to U Mumba and Mohit has been deemed to be out. 

However, U Mumba review! They believe that Mohit was not out of bounds and they are pretty confident about it. At just one small moment, Mohit's left foot is out of the lobby while his right foot is in the air. Review unsuccessful!

Bengal Warriors 4-12 U Mumba

7' Shrikant Jadhav is allowed a bonus point and a block from Mohit is to no avail as Shrikant bulldozes his way back to the mid-line. 

6' Guman Singh evades Manoj Gowda's attempted ankle hold and Shubham Shinde, who had run around for assistance, has to make his way back as well.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022 where the hundred and first match of the tournament will witness U Mumba locking horns with the Bengal Warriors at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad. 

U Mumba have had quite a poor run in their last few outings and the absence of Surinder Singh on the mat is certainly hurting the side. They have suffered three back-to-back losses and their campaign is threatened to be derailed unless they can get back to winning ways here. They will certainly be looking forward to getting a win here to boost their morale after what have been some confidence-crushing previous few encounters. Coach Anil Chaprana had hinted at Surinder's return for this contest but perhaps, U Mumba might not risk playing him until he's 100% fit. 

The Bengal Warriors, on the other hand, have alternatively won and lost their previous few contests. They have eight wins and two ties from sixteen encounters and are going along pretty decently in the tournament. The focus will be on Shrikant Jadhav, who had scored a Super 10 against U Mumba the previous time the sides clashed. It will be interesting to see how the mighty raiding unit consisting of Maninder Singh and Shrikant Jadhav perform against the best defense in the tournament. 

Promises to be an enthralling contest and expect this to go right down to the last minute! Sit back, relax and enjoy as I, Maanas Upadhyay, take you through all that unfolds over the course of this contest!
