U Mumba players celebrate after registering a last minute victory against Bengaluru Bulls

Season 2 winners U Mumba rediscovered themselves through this encounter with the Bengaluru Bulls at Kolkata. Having lost 2of their 4 matches, Anup Kumar's men rejuvenated themselves through this match, which acted as a springboard for them for the rest of the tournament.

The powerful Bulls, led by Surjeet Narwal, were cruising 21-10 at the interval, but the match was far from done. Rakesh Kumar and Rishank Devadiga joined forces to tighten both the defensive and the attacking units and the mind-boggling comeback began after the break. The match reached a dramatic climax as spectators waited with bated breath to see who emerged as the winner.

In the final 4 minutes, U Mumba went on an 8-point run that saw them overturn a 7-point deficit to emerge victorious by a solitary point. In the last minute, Rishank's aggressive raid got the Bulls down to just 1 man, Surjeet Narwal. The Bulls captain was stopped in his tracks as U Mumba completed an all out at the death and an empty buzzer raid saw them take the match 29-28.

That result sparked off their 11-match winning streak that saw them reach the final. Needless to say, that final-minute comeback will remain as one of the best moments of the entire season.
