U Mumba Vs Dabang Delhi K.c. 06 December 2022

Right then, that brings and end to our coverage of this game and it will be curtains on U Mumba's and Patna Pirates' campaign as well. Switch tabs and catch all the live action from the second game of the night as the Giants take on the Titans! Until next time then, this is me, Maanas Upadhyay, bidding you adieu! Goodbye!

FULL TIME! U Mumba 24-41 Dabang Delhi K.C.

The match was much closer than what the scorecard suggests and in the end, it is U Mumba and subsequently, Patna Pirates who bow out of the tournament. U Mumba made quite a decent comeback in the second half and had Delhi down to just a couple of men but some terrific defending followed by some equally good raiding ensured that the all out was inflicted on U Mumba instead in the following couple of minutes. A poor showing by U Mumba and they just did not turn up when it mattered the most. Delhi will speficially be happy with this win as not only do they complete a double-win over U Mumba this season, it also came in a game where Naveen Kumar did not score a plethora of points and it was the defense who played a massive part in them getting over the line in this contest. Delhi marching ahead towards a playoffs spot now!

40' Dipak pounces now as Ashish has to make his way back to the bench courtesy of a terrific double thigh hold. Ashish had picked up a bonus point before perishing.

HALF TIME! U Mumba 14-22 Dabang Delhi K.C. 

Whew! Delhi have almost completely blown away U Mumba with a spectacular showing in both the offence and the defense. They got off the blocks early and inflicted the all-out in under five minutes to put U Mumba on the back-foot. A sense of desperation in the manner in which U Mumba are going about their business and that was the cause of their downfall initially. They have committed far too many schoolboy errors and will need to come out as a revitalised and revamped side if they are to win this one. U Mumba have been dealing in just super tackles thus far while Delhi have put in a complete all-round show. Eight points separating the two sides - do not count U Mumba out of this just yet.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022. We are nearing to the end of the league stages and tonight is a match that will go a long, long way in deciding which side will possess a better chance of making it to the playoffs as Season 2 champions U Mumba lock horns with defending champions Dabang Delhi K.C. 

It has been a topsy-turvy tournament for both sides so far, with U Mumba losing steam after showing a lot of promise initially while Delhi suffering a massive losing streak mid-season. However, all past will be forgotten as the two teams take the mat at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in a bid to keep their qualification hopes alive. A win here will be absolutely essential to keep the qualification hopes alive. The Haryana Steelers, Gujarat Giants, Patna Pirates and Bengal Warriors might be supporting U Mumba in this contest as it betters their chances at qualification. 

As for U Mumba, they have been pretty impressive but have just failed on to hold to a lead in perhaps every single game that they have been a part of. As a result, they have squandered away games they absolutely should have emerged on top in more often than not. However, if there's one thing we know about this side, it is that they'll come out all guns blazing when their backs are against the wall. U Mumba will be hoping their regular skipper, Surinder Singh, is back in action while the team does not gift away unnecessary points to the opposition. 

Dabang Delhi K.C. have had a rollercoaster ride this season, winning a few on the trot, losing a few continuously and then proceeding to get a mixture of the three possible results. They will rely upon their raiding to do the job for them against a solid U Mumba defense. Naveen Kumar, Vijay Malik and Ashu would like to do the bulk of the scoring. Their corners are a cause of concern and they will be hoping that not too many points are leaked from that area of the mat. 

Right then, we are in for an absolute cracker of a contest at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium at Hyderabad! What lies in store? Which team will strengthen their qualification chances? All shall be answered and more in due course of time as I, Maanas Upadhyay, take you through what promise to be an enthralling forty minutes of Kabaddi action! Sit back and relax (or be on the edge of your seat if you're one of the Mumboys or Dabangs) and wait with bated breath as this encounter unfurls.
