Dabang Delhi takes on U Mumba in a Zone A clash of PKL 2018 at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Vizag today, Tuesday at 8 pm IST.
Dabang Delhi made a terrific comeback in the competition with 5 wins and just a solitary loss in their home leg putting them in prime position to qualify for the playoffs. They need just one point from their remaining 3 encounters in order to make it to the playoffs.
Dabang Delhi secured a 4-point win (37-33) in their last home leg match against the Tamil Thalaivas in an Inter-Zone clash. While it was Meraj Sheykh who top-scored for the Dabangs with 9 raid points, it was Vishal Mane, who braved through injury and severe bruising to his face to score a High-5 (5 tackle points), who was the x-factor for the Dabangs in the game.
U Mumba is also coming off a comprehensive 31-20 victory against a strong Bengal Warriors side. It was their defence whose 13-point performance clinched the victory for the current Zone-A toppers. Surender Singh and Fazel Atrachali were the side's top defenders with 4 points apiece, while Siddharth Desai was the top raider for U Mumba with his 7 raid points.
