Pro Kabaddi League Season 6 saw the action continue in the capital city Delhi as the Gujarat Fortunegiants took to the mat against U Mumba at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex in Delhi.
Gujarat Fortunegiants came into the match on the back of a three-match unbeaten run including one over their opponents tonight. They got a solid win over Puneri Paltan in their last fixture backed by a stellar defence led by the young skipper Sunil Kumar along with Parvesh Bhainswal. Sachin Tanwar continues to be the shining light in their raiding unit and enjoys the support from K Prapanjan, Mahendra Rajput and Rohit Gulia.
U Mumba was in high spirits after a rousing comeback last night over the home side Dabang Delhi KC. The Season 2 champions overturned a nine-point deficit to emerge victorious over the Dabangs. Siddharth Desai led the charge as he produced a stunning second half-performance to finish with another Super 10 this season and had 19 points in the end.
The top spot in the Zone A and a clean sweep for U Mumba was in sight for the finalists from last year, Gujarat Fortunegiants.
The first half saw the two sides compete at a very high level but U Mumba had the edge over their rivals in both the departments. Sachin Tanwar kept the Gujarat side on the heels of the Mumbaikars with his raid points but the defence was not as effective as they usually are. U Mumba led 17-14 at the end of a closely fought half of Kabaddi.
The second period saw the teams play a careful brand of Kabaddi utilizing their strenghts well on the mat. Siddharth Desai turned the heat up on the Guajrat defence and U Mumba picked up an all-out to take a comfortable lead in the match. U Mumba got their first win over the Gujarat Fortunegiants as they won 36-26 in the end.
