What a thrilling contest to open the Delhi leg! We can't wait to see what's more in store in this leg!

PV Sindhu will be pretty happy with that result. This was a tough match and the way they held their nerves for the win, was admirable. The Smashers were desperately in search for a win after losing their PBL 3 opener in Guwahati.

And with that win, the Chennai Smashers edge the Mumbai Rockets 4-3, which is the exact same scoreline that we had in the Season 2 final.
