\"PankajRanaVSPritam\"New Delhi: Punjab Royals<\/strong><\/a> beat defending champions Mumbai Maharathi<\/strong> <\/a>5-4 in the second semi-final at the KD Jadhav Indoor Stadium here on Wednesday to set a date with Haryana Hammers<\/strong> <\/a>in the summit clash of the Pro Wrestling League<\/strong><\/a> (PWL).<\/p>\n

In what turned out to be a see-saw contest, the fans were treated to some brilliant display of wrestling when the scoreboard drifted from one side to the other till the very end.<\/p>\n

The fans were also treated to an exciting contest between Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev taking on 2008 Beijing silver medallist Andriy Stadnik in an exhibition bout.<\/p>\n

Mumbai took the early lead with Jabrayil Hasanov winning the first bout of the evening against Jitendra 18-2 in the second round of the 74 kilogram weight category.<\/p>\n

The Rio Olympics bronze medallist clearly dominated the proceedings against Jitendra as he took the first round 5-0.<\/p>\n

In the second round, the Azerbaijan grappler wasted no time in consolidating his lead and was adjudged the winner by clear domination of the Punjab wrestler.<\/p>\n

Glasgow Common Wealth Games gold medallist Odunayo Adekuoroye from Nigeria lead the fightback for Punjab after defeating Mumbai’s Lalita Sehrawat 16-0 in the women’s 53kg bout.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian took a 4-0 lead in the first round before overpowering Lalita in the second to be declared the winner.<\/p>\n

With the scores tied at 1-1, Rio Olympics gold medallist Vladimer Khinchegashvili extended Punjab’s lead by winning the 57kg bout against Mumbai’s Rahul Aware.<\/p>\n

The Georgian, who also clinched the silver in the 2012 London Olympics, took the lead early in the opening bout 6-2 before swelling it further to 12-5 in the second round to give Punjab a 2-0 lead in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

Reigning Olympic champion in women’s 75kg Erica Elizabeth Wiebe then brought the Mumbai franchise back to contention after getting the better of Vasilisa Marzaliuk of Belarus 2-1 in the third match of the evening.<\/p>\n

Canada’s Wiebe came back from being 0-1 in the opening bout to turn the tide towards Mumbai with a 2-1 win in the second round.<\/p>\n

Russian Ilyas Bekbulatov then gave Punjab the lead back by clinching the 65kg bout against Mumbai’s Vikas 17-0 in the first round itself.<\/p>\n

The Russian grappler took just a minute to be adjudged winner of the bout by technical superiority in what turned out to a bop-sided contest.<\/p>\n

With Punjab leading 3-2, Ukrainian freestyle wrestler Pavlo Oliynyk gave Mumbai the equaliser by clinching the 97 kg heavyweight category bout 12-0 against punjab’s Krishan Kumar.<\/p>\n

Pavlo, the 2015 World Championships bronze medallist took a 4-0 lead in the opening round before overpowering the Indian wrestler in the second round.<\/p>\n

Punjab then got to a 4-3 lead, thanks to Nirmala Devi who won her 48 kg women’s bout by higher manoeuvre against Mumbai’s Carolina Castillo Hidalgo 2-2.<\/p>\n

Despite being 0-1 down against the Colombian, Nirmala bounced back in the second to be declared the winner.<\/p>\n

Punjab then took an unassailable 5-3 lead in the semi-final contest when Pankaj Rana came from behind to beat Pritam in the men’s 70kg bout 8-8 in the final seconds of the match.<\/p>\n

In the opening round, Pankaj trailed 2-6 before stunning Pritam in the final seconds of the second round to ensure Punjab’s way to the final.<\/p>\n

The inconsequential last bout of the evening saw Mumbai’s Pritam thrashing Punjab’s Manju Kumari 9-0 in the women’s 58 kg bout to reduce the gap to 5-4 in favour of Punjab.<\/p>\n

After taking the first round 4-0, Pritam did not allow the Punjab wrestler to make a comeback and extended her lead to 9-0 in the second round to give Mumbai a consolation win at the end.<\/p>\n
