But we will try for a good result in the last match and will give our best,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ranchi Rhinos coach Gregg Clark said that their team want to continue the winning momentum for Semi-Final match. \u201cOur approach for tomorrow\u2019s match will be the same as previous matches. We will play with same focus and passion against Dabur Mumbai Magicians. As our next match is Semi-Final, we want to take this momentum there,\u201d stated Clark.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-12598\" style=\"margin-right: 6px; margin-left: 6px; float: left;\" alt=\"mumbai-magicians\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mumbai-magicians.jpg\" height=\"156\" width=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mumbai-magicians.jpg 250w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mumbai-magicians-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Mumbai:<\/strong> Bottom placed Dabur Mumbai Magicians would have nothing but pride to defend when they take on second placed Ranchi Rhinos in their last league encounter of the Hero Hockey India League at the Mumbai Hockey Association Stadium here on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The Magicians went into their last two league encounters in a must-win situation to keep alive their semi-finals hopes.
