Delhi: Raiders Anup Kumar and Bhupender Singh scripted an easy 31-17 win for U Mumba against Bengal Warriors in Season 2 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in the national capital today. With their ninth win in ten outings and a tally of 45 points the Mumbai side have more or less booked a semis berth.<\/p>\n
The fact that U Mumba achieved this feat without star raider Shabeer Bapu and the upcoming Rishank Devadiga speaks volumes of the depth in their ranks. Two all-outs inflicted against the opponents, once in each half tilted the scales totally in Mumba’s favour. Making the most of his first outing, Pradeep Kumar contributed four points including a bonus. His efforts combined with Bhupender’s stunning raids helped the winners sail comfortably.<\/p>\n
Bhupender contributed five points and Anup seven to help their side stamp their authority.Starting cautiously, the teams logged nine points in the first ten minutes with the winners leading 6-3. As defender Mohit Chhillar got into the act of getting his holds and blocks right U Mumba gradually left the Warriors far behind to inflict the first all-out by the 19th minute. They trooped off for the break with a comfortable 20-15 lead.<\/p>\n
The resumption of play saw Anup guide his forces astutely. He had full faith in Bhupender and the man allotted the do-or-die responsibility did it well. Anup himself added four to his tally while getting the second all-out which boosted his team’s tally to 28-15 in the 37th minute. With both Jang Kun Lee and Mahendra Rajput looking off-colour and the U Mumba raiders outwitting the Bengal defence, the mountain to the play-offs looks mighty to climb for Bengal Warriors.<\/p>\n
Speaking on their performance today, captain Anup Kumar said “We dominated the whole game from start to finish. We had a strong offence and defence and a strong team overall. We hope to remain on the top because then we will meet the fourth placed team who may be easier to beat in the play-offs.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
