Ultimate Kho Kho LIVE score, Mumbai Khiladis vs Telugu Yoddhas: Kho Kho live updates & commentary

Match will start at 8.45 PM IST.

Full-Time! Mumbai Khiladis 54 - 46 Telugu Yoddhas
Mumbai Khiladis' consistency across all four turns gets them a deserved win against the Telugu Yoddhas. It was even stevens at the innings break, with both teams on 26 points. However, Mumbai's attack turned up at just the right time as they picked up 24 points in Turn 3 without conceding any. The Yoddhas tried their best to make up ground, but a 4-point Dream Run from the Khiladis virtually killed the game off. The usually deadly Yoddhas struggled to pick up points in their powerplay, conceding Dream Runs in both turns despite having two Wazirs on the mat. In the end, the Yoddhas' sub-par defensive performance in Turn 3 costs them the match.
