The end of the game between Dabang Delhi and U Mumba almost resembled the climax straight out a western movie with Mumba's Shrikant Jadhav and Dabang's Abolfazl Maghsodlou trading shots like savvy gunslingers.

After the first half ended 16-16, the teams continued to remain neck-and-neck in the second. Dabang nudged ahead many times but were never able to secure more than a one-point lead at any stage. Abolfazl though gave them that 2-point lead towards the end with four minutes to go, but U Mumba snatched the game right at the end when Shrikant secured a brilliant 2-point raid to swing the game his side's way.

The two men had been battled right through the second half to give their sides the edge, but it was Shrikant who came out the win for his side in the end. He picked up crucial Bonus Points on a couple of Do or Die raids. His raid at the end followed by a crucial tackle from Kashi on Delhi's subsequent raid clinched the game for Mumba in the end.

Another stellar showing from Shrikant who has done nothing but impress since coming into the fold for U Mumba. He finished with a Super 10 on the night with 10 points and a tackle point as well for 11 in total.
