He had earlier put his side ahead 25-20 with the help of the
do-or-die raid specialist Rishank Devadiga, after Mumba trailed for most of the
match. It was a memorable day for him as he also crossed the 200 point mark as
a raider.
Dabang Delhi after trailing initially at 9-10 managed to
equalize and went on to score a ‘lona’ at the stroke of half-time. The tall
raiding duo of star player Kashiling Adake and new inductee Dadaso Awad
troubled the Mumba defence no end. Kashiling had 4 points with a bonus
and Dadaso got 3 to do the bulk of scoring. In defence captain Ravinder Singh
Pahal manning the right corner for Delhi
was always a threat.
U Mumba decided not to field their premier raider Shabeer
Bapu Sharfudeen. And although he is not in good form one felt his presence
would have had some effect on the opponents. Finally all is well that ends well
as always and Mumba came out unscathed.
The U Mumba defence came to life in the last ten minutes of
the match. Probably inspired by rival captain Ravinder, both Jeeva Kumar and
Vishal Mane effected tackle after tackle to take the game away from their
opponents.
In the closing couple of minutes Jeeva caught Sandeep Tomar
and Vishal like a wrestler and single handedly threw Kashiling Adake out of the
arena to finish the contest with the score reading 28-22 in Mumba’s favour.
Speaking about his side’s fortunes in the post match press
conference, Anup looked optimistic. “I did not have the best game but it is
encouraging to see the team perform even in those circumstances. I am very
happy that the team has managed to string together so many victories. We hope to
continue putting in similar performance and go on winning.”
