Chennai Lions will be up against Dabang Delhi TTC in Match 6 of Ultimate Table Tennis Season 5 on Sunday, August 25. Both teams would be looking for a much-needed win on the board after having lost their respective opening ties.
The Chennai Lions did not get off to the best of starts this new season. They were beaten 4-11 by Bengaluru Smashers in their opening match. Chennai lagged in the match right off the hook, however, Sharath Kamal's shocking loss to young Jeet Chandra would be the biggest of worries for the Season 3 champions.
On the other hand, the Dabang Delhi TTC, went down to U Mumba TT, 6-9, in their opening tie. The Dabangs were down in the match right from the word go as Mumba's Manav Thakkar asserted his dominance. Though Delhi made a bit of a comeback, it was too late, as they eventually lost.

With an important victory on the line, this encounter at the Ultimate Table Tennis promises to be an enthralling one for the fans.
