U Mumba Vs Telugu Titans 28 November 2024

FULL TIME 40' U Mumba 35-41 Telugu Titans

Telugu Titans move up to the second position in the poins table! A few points towards the end for U Mumba courtesy Manjeet and it enables them to get a point out of this contest but in all fairness they have been outplayed by Telugu Titans today who have done the double on them this season.

Skipper Vijay Malik continues his fine run of form getting another Super-10 and he has led this impressive Titans unit to another win. A high-5 for Sagar as well in the left corner in a defense which was clicking really well. Ashish Narwal had a brilliant game too with 9 raid points.

It was a dominant first half from the Titans who had a 12-point lead at the halftime break. Credit to U Mumba for coming back, thanks largely to the efforts from young Rohit Raghav and Sombir who got a high-5 himself. But then, it wasn't simply enough as the Titans applied more pressure and U Mumba crumbled.

38' U Mumba 31-41 Telugu Titans

Telugu Titans get the third all-out on U Mumba! Parvesh goes in for an advanced tackle on a do-or-die raid on Ashish who retreats back successfully. Mumba were down to 2 and then Vijay Malik completed his Super-10 in the next raid as Rinku tried to tackle him but got no support from Manjeet who was subbed in. Manjeet then went in to raid and was gobbled up by the Titans' defense who have thwarted Mumba's comeback

36' U Mumba 29-35 Telugu Titans

Big moment as Sombir steps out of the end line in defense, not really sure if he did so but the officials did think so. Ajit Chouhan picked up a quick bonus and then Vijay Malik killed the clock with a long empty raid. 4 minutes to go with 6 points the deficit

34' U Mumba 28-34 Telugu Titans

Sombir dives for the ankles yet again and captures Manjeet, he has all of a sudden come alive. And then Rohit Raghav tried a reverse kick which he did not get and just about entered the lobby

Another big tackle from Sombir on Ashish Narwal and then Zafardanesh ventured into the lobbies thinking he had a touch on the right corner

32' U Mumba 26-32 Telugu Titans

Inches away from the mid-line and Telugu Titans get the better of Rohit Raghav as he tried to stretch his hand to get past. Then, Rinku got a successful tackle on Manjeet and it was replied by a dash on Ajit Chouhan by Ajit Pawar, a solo dash

30' U Mumba 25-30 Telugu Titans

The difference between the two teams is 5 and there are 10 minutes left on the clock. Ashish Narwal was tackled by Sombir in the left corner who got his ankles and Rohit Raghav got a quick running hand touch as well. Titans still have the lead and they will do well to hold on to it because U Mumba are making a comeback, can Titans hold on?

28' U Mumba 23-29 Telugu Titans

24' U Mumba 20-27 Telugu Titans

Rohit Raghav cleans house and Telugu Titans are all-out! It was a tackle from U Mumba which started it off and then Rohit Raghav went in to raid against a defense of two and then returned with a 4-point lead. This match has completely flipped post the half time break, what have U Mumba had in the halftime break?

Vijay Malik starts off the second half with an empty raid and then Ajit Chouhan finally arrives and gets a big kick on Krishan Dhull and all of a sudden Titans are down to 3 men!

HALF TIME 20' U Mumba 13-25 Telugu Titans

Telugu Titans lose their review in the last raid of the first half! It was a do-or die raid for the Titans and Ashish Narwal though he had the bonus but he was not granted and they reviewed it unsuccesfully.

It has been a top half from the Telugu Titans who have a big 12-point lead at the end of the first 20 and they have inflicted two all-outs on U Mumba already. U Mumba have simply not been up to the mark, they just have 1 tackle point in the entire first half which came from their skipper Sunil Kumar.

In raid, there have been just 2 points each for Ajit Chouhan and Manjeet while Zafardanesh has 3. Young Rohit Raghav has been subbed in place of Sombir and he has shown some purpose picking up 3 raid points in a short space of time.

For the Titans, Vijay Malik has led from the front once more and already has 9 raid points. Ashish Narwal has 6 raid points plus a tackle point as well.

Will U Mumba able to comeback in the second half?

17' U Mumba 10-24 Telugu Titans

U Mumba are all-out for the second time inside the first 17 minutes of the game! This has been a display of the highest order from the Titans who are bossing this.

16' U Mumba 9-20 Telugu Titans

A point for Zafardanesh in raid but then yet another mistake from the Mumba defense, this time from the raider Ajit Chouhan who threw an advance tackle on Ajit Chouhan. Zafardanesh went in to raid next and attempted a touch on Krishan Dhull on the right corner but did not get it and entered the lobbies and was ruled out, U Mumba reviewed it and lost their review too and U Mumba are down to 2 men

14' U Mumba 8-18 Telugu Titans

Two-pointer for Vijay Malik! Sunil and Parvesh go for the combinati0n tackle on the Titans' skipper but it was too advance a tackle and Vijay got back immediately. Ashish then got another touch point to reduce U Mumba to 3 men again

Telugu Titans are piling on the pressure! Skipper Vijay Malik picked up a bonus before being dashed out but then Manjeet was tackled once more to bring the skipper back

11' U Mumba 7-13 Telugu Titans

Telugu Titans inflict the all-out! Ajit Chouhan did not even pick up a bonus which was allowed by the Titans and then the right side of defense came in to take care of him and then a surrender raid followed. Telugu Titans have been terrific so far!

10' U Mumba 7-9 Telugu Titans

U Mumba are down to 2 men now! An easy touch point for Ashish Narwal who caught Sombir napping in the right corner for Mumba and then a couple of empty raids followed. Raider Ajit Chauhan and defender Amin, who has been subbed in, are the only two men on court for U Mumba. This is a brilliant opportunity for the Titans to get the first all-out

Manjeet has opened his account with a touch but Ajit Chouhan has not been able to do so in two raids so far. Remember, he had a poor game against the Telugu Titans last time around

Zafardanesh has got two raid points in his last two raids but Mumba's defense has not had a good start. Another touch from Vijay Malik, this time on left corner Rinku this time

2' U Mumba 1-3 Telugu Titans

Zafardanesh puts in the first raid of the match and returns empty-handed. Skipper Vijay Malik, however does not and he gets a touch on the right corner of U Mumba straight away. Big moment then follows as Mumba's best raider Ajit Chouhan is sent on the bench in his first raid after picking up a bonus as Ashish Narwal tackles him. The all-rounder then gets a divoing hand touch on Mumba's captain Sunil Kumar's legs, he has taken care of two big men in the space of two raids
