Pro Kabaddi 2019, U Mumba v Gujarat Fortune Giants: 5 talking points from the match

#4 Mumbai with a slight advantage at the break

Sachin Tanwar was kept quiet by the U Mumba defenders

The match began on a tight note, as has been the pattern over the season so far, with both sides tussling to seize the initiative. Both defenses remained solid and did not offer much room for the raiders, with do-or-die raids being the main scoring opportunity.

After 15 minutes, no side enjoyed a lead of over two points and U Mumba made it 8-5 as Abhishek produced a fine tackle in defense. However, Gujarat were quick to bounce back with a super tackle of their own through Ankit, who brought down Abhishek this time around.

However, the hosts went into the break on top through a magnificent tackle by skipper Fazel Atrachali who picked up his first point of the night with a trademark ankle hold. As a result, the Fortunegiants were down to three defenders on the court as the teams went into the breather, handing the initiative to U Mumba.
