Jaipur Pink Panthers Vs U Mumba 05 December 2024

Full time: Jaipur Pink Panthers 22-22 U Mumba

Wow, what a couple of games we have had today. Both matches have entertained us entirely and we have been treated with some high-octane action. The coach of Jaipur Pink Panthers was relieved with the game ending a tie while the coach of U Mumba had a frown on his face, making his disappointment very much visible.

U Mumba led at the end of the first half by four points. Jaipur Pink Panthers made amends for their mistakes and made a comeback in the contest scoring seven points in the next ten minutes before both teams stayed locked for the last 10 minutes, failing to break through. 

For U Mumba, it was Sombir who was their top performer in defence, picking up seven tackle points in the game. Rohit Raghav, Ajit Chouhan and Manjeet chipped in with a couple of points but that wasn't enough for them to register a win.

Jaipur Pink Panthers will be very satisfied with the way Reza Mirbagheri played as the Iranian defender picked up six points and was ably assisted by Ronak Singh. Neeraj Narwal was the best raider in their ranks as he picked up four raid points out of 15 raids.

40' DO OR DIE RAID FOR JAIPUR PINK PANTHERS! Abhijeet Malik with the raid and Sombir holds him by the ankle, retaining him in the half.

DO OR DIE RAID FOR U MUMBA! Ajit Chouhan goes for the raid and he escapes the ankle hold of Ronak but Reza comes in charging and covers up for him. Jaipur Pink Panthers are in the lead.

Fine raid from Rohit Raghav as Reza goes for the tackle but lacks support from the others. Last raid of the game, Rohit Raghav comes back empty-handed. Jaipur Pink Panthers and U Mumba play out a low scoring tie worth 22-22. Two tied games today!

38' Reza goes for the double ankle hold and manages to keep a struggling Ajit Chouhan back in their half, registering a SUPER TACKLE. Nothing else apart from that in the two minutes. Two minutes left and both teams are still locked!

Jaipur Pink Panthers 20-20 U Mumba

36' Ajit Chouhan gets a touch off Ankush Rathee and comes back to his half confidently. Jaipur Pink Panthers review it in vain as the fingers brush past the elbow of Rathee, sending him off the mat.

Poor from Shrikant Jadhav as Sombir retreats swiftly and Jadhav enters the lobby as he slips and losses his footing

Jaipur Pink Panthers 18-20 U Mumba

Half time: Jaipur Pink Panthers 8-12 U Mumba

Defence colossus is on show here. Both defences have been on point with the way they have gone about their business. U Mumba and Jaipur Pink Panthers have failed to make most of their raiding units in place with Neeraj Narwal being the only raider having more than a point.

Sombir has completed his high 5 for U Mumba and on the other end, Ankush Rathee and Lucky Sharma are two and three points off their respective High 5's. Raiders of both sides are yet to come to the fore and it will be interesting to see whether only the two defences flex their muscles or the raiders or script something special.

It is still game on. Join us in what should be a gripping second half

20' Brilliant by Rohit Raghav. He fools Surjeet as he comes rushing in, gets away with a toe touch and gets back to his half safely. That is the only point in the last couple of minutes as full time is called

DO OR DIE RAID FOR JAIPUR PINK PANTHERS! Arjun Deshwal goes for the raid but he puts in a dubki that sees him go out of bounds. What was he thinking? Meanwhile, Manjeet looks to kick and run off the left corner but is dashed out of bounds along with a defender as well.
