FULL-TIME AND BENGALURU TRUMPS U MUMBA IN AN ABSOLUTE HUMDINGER!
33-35: Pawan ends the match with an empty raid.
33-35: Do-or-die raid for Bulls. Pawan kills first 15 second and then ONCE AGAIN, SANDEEP NARWAL GOES FOR AN EAGER, SOLO HIGH BLOCK AND FAILS MISERABLY. SUPER-10 FOR PAWAN
33-34: Athul MS is gifted a point by Nandal and this is getting tricky.
31-34: Pawan runs the clock down as we head into the last minute of the match. He crosses the baulk line and makes the raid legal.
31-34: Abhishek is in to raid and up against five. He stays left and then tries to catch the right cover by surprise, but this time the defenders retreat on time. The, Amit with an ankle hold to stop Singh in his tracks but it was Pawan's dash that does the damage. IS THIS GAME,SET AND MATCH?
Bulls challenge the call claiming three U Mumba defenders are also out of bounds, but the replay shows it's all good AND THE REVIEW IS UNSUCCESSFUL.
31-33: Do-or-die raid for Banty and U MUMBA'S DEFENCE IS TALKING NOW! IT WAS A GAMBLE THAT BULLS TAKE TO SAVE PAWAN AND THEY FAIL! Just when Banty tries a kick on Fazel, Surinder Singh throws him off the mat with a dash.
IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES, 8 POINTS TO MUMBA, AND JUST 1 TO BULLS
28-32: ALL-OUT!!! Ashish Sangwan comes in to raid after he is subbed in for Ankit and Surinder Singh pins Ashish down with a waist block after giving away the bonus.
25-31: Abhishek Singh up against two and BENGALURU DOWN TO ONE MAN. AMIT SHEORAN WITH A DESPERATE ANKLE HOLD AFTER SLIPPING.
Let me tell you, with a little over six minutes remaining, U Mumba has the momentum and it can very well use it to its advantage. WE HAVE SEEN ABSOLUTELY CRAZY COMEBACKS IN THIS SPORT, SO ONE ALL-OUT HERE ON BENGALURU , WHICH IS DOWN TO TWO MEN, AND U MUMBA IS RIGHT BACK INTO THE GAME!
24-31: Do-or-die raid for Bulls. Mohit Sehrawat comes in to raid and IT'S FAZEL STRIKES WITH A LETHAL ANKLE HOLD.
23-31: THIS IS GOOD STUFF FROM MUMBAI'S ABHISHEK SINGH! HE HAS BEEN TARGETTING THE RIGHT COVER ALL NIGHT AND HE DOES IT AGAIN! Nandal off to the bench.
IS THIS A MINI-COMEBACK THAT U MUMBA REQUIRES?
22-31: WHAT'S WITH BULLS RAIDERS THROWING IN RECKLESS TACKLES AND FAILING? This time, Banty with a weak thigh hold on Abhishek Singh, who jumps out of trouble and back to the mid-line.
21-31: Do-or-die raid for Bulls. SANDEEP FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A BRILLIANT TACKLE IN THE NEXT RAID ON SUMIT SINGH!

16-25: BRAVE AND BOLD AND SAURABH NANDAL CONQUERS ATHUL MS WITH A VICIOUS BACK HOLD. He does get a bonus though.

14-22: Ajay gets caught napping in the left cover. Athul MS with a running hand touch and he revives Fazel Atrachali.

13-20: HARENDRA WITH A FAILED BLOCK ON SUMIT!

|
11-17: HALF-TIME! Rohit Baliyan sends Ajay back and brings the curtains down on the first half.
10-17: THIS IS IT! WE HAVE OUR FIRST ALL-OUT, THE FIRST OF THE NIGHT! PAWAN GETS THREE DEFENDERS AND EVADE WITH A DUBKI. Rajaguru Subramanian on a touch point with him, Rohit Baliyan with a failed block and then Sandeep Narwal with a failed dash. IT'S A SUPER-RAID WORTH FIVE POINTS!!! However, concerns there for the Bulls as Pawan limps off and he is in pain. Replay shows that Sandeep Narwal landed on his ankle. We and the Bulls hope is okay.
10-12: Do-or-die raid for U Mumba. Usual suspect Abhishek Singh is in to raid. He goes for the right cover again and then stations himself near the left, the clock is down to last five seconds and then AMIT SHEORAN SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Ankle hold on the raider.
10-11: HE STUTTERS, BUT HE DELIVERS! SUMIT SINGH IS PLAYING BRILLIANTLY TONIGHT! HE GOES FOR A DIVING HAND TOUCH ON SURINDER SINGH AND FALLS FLAT ON THE MAT. BUT NOBODY COMES TO SUPPORT SINGH AND ALLOW SUMIT TO JUMP BACK TO SAFETY.
3 MINUTES TO GO!
10-10: FAILED ANKLE HOLD FROM BANTY ON MS ATHUL AND WE ARE STILL LEVEL.
9-10: Banty tries the dubki and he succeeds. He was initially was thought to have been tackled but the point goes to the Bulls because FAZEL STEPS INTO THE LOBBY WITH A getting a touch.
9-9: Bonus bagged by Athul MS.
8-9: Do-or-die raid for the bulls and SUMIT SINGH DELIVERS! First Sandeep Narwal and now Harendra Kumar with a solo, eager block next to the mid-line. Sumit is able to turn back easily on his way down and get his hand past the mid-line.
8-8: BULLS MEETING FIRE WITH FIRE, TACKLE POINTS FOR TACKLE POINTS! Abhishek Singh tries for the right cover again, only to fall right into the trap. Banty with a brilliant block.
8-7: PAWAN COMES AND GOES BACK TO THE BENCH THE NEXT MOMENT! HE IS LITERALLY USHERED OFF THE MAT FROM SANDEEP NARWAL AND CO.
7-7: Do-or-die raid for U Mumba. Abhishek Singh is and gets a touch point off Ankit.
6-7: Do-or-die raid for Bulls. Banty is in to raid and he gets Surinder Singh with a running hand touch in the right cover position.
6-6: Do-or-die raid for U Mumba and once again, Abhishek Singh goes for the right cover. Saurabh Nandal tries a double thigh hold on a flying Abhishek and there was only going to be one winner there, the raider. FAZEL IS REVIVED!
5-6: This time, Pawan tries too hard for the left cover and he can't control his momentum on time, enters the lobby and concedes a self-out point.
4-6: THE FIRST MOMENT OF BRILLIANCE OF THE MAT! HE SENDS ATHUL MS AND FAZEL BACK TO THE BENCH, DOES PAWAN SEHRAWAT! Fazel in the left corner floors Pawan with an ankle hold and Athul at left cover tries to help, but Pawan overpowers both of them.
4-4: Pawan sends Sandeep Narwal with a running hand touch in the right corner.
4-3: Abhishek Singh gets the right cover with a running hand touch again. This time, it's Saurabh Nandal.
3-3: Do-or-die raid for Bulls. First of the match and Banty gets Sandeep Narwal, who once again commits an error with an advanced tackle. He has been guilty of doing so all season long. Fazel, the skipper, isn't happy.
3-2: U Mumba's best bet so far, Abhishek Singh comes in to raid. He is inching towards the right over and HE GET THE RIGHT COVER. HE EXPLOITS THE COVERS OF BULLS. Ankit of Bulls out with a running hand touch from Singh.
2-2: Sumit Singh in to raid and he goes back empty-handed.
2-2: PAWAN SEHRAWAT COMES IN FOR HIS FIRST RAID AND HE IS TACKLED BY FAZEL AND SURINDER! Both work in tandem to send Pawan packing so early on. He gets the bonus.
1-1: Athul MS comes in for the first raid of the match and he is tackled by a brilliant ankle by Saurabh Nandal. He gets the bonus.
TOSS- Bengaluru wins the toss and U Mumba will raid first.
U Mumba: Arjun Deshwal hasn't regained full fitness after falling awkwardly on his shoulder last match and will miss this game. In the defence, Surinder, Fazal and Sandeep have a lot of work to do. They have been good, but inconsistent. Abhishek Singh had a brilliant outing last match in the raiding department, so he would look to replicate that performance.
Bengaluru: Rohit Kumar is still not fit and will not feature today. Once again, the team will depend highly Pawan Sehrawat's exploits. It will be important to Banty and Sumit Singh to chip in today. Amit Sheoran and Saurabh Nandal have been doing decently well in the defence and should look to continue that.
Let's quickly go through to what to look forward to today, shall we?
SQUADS: U MUMBA: Fazel Atrachali, Harendra Kumar, Sandeep Narwal, Abhishek Singh, Surinder Singh, Athul MS, Rohit Baliyan Subs: Dong Geon Lee, Anil, Vinoth Kumar, Harsh Vardhan Rajaguru Subramaniam
BENGALURU BULLS: Pawan Sehrawat, Ankit, Ajay, Banty, Sumit Singh, Amit Sheoran, Saurabh Nandal Subs: Ashish Sangwan, Mohit Sehrawat, Mahender Singh, Raju Lal Choudhary, Lal Mohan Yadav |
For Titans, the chances are equally slim. It hasn't won a single game in its past five matches and it's not very difficult to predict a Jaipur win today. In this case, both Patna and Titans will be knocked out.
Patna, starting yesterday, had to win all of its remaining matches and it almost started perfectly. But, it was taken by a surprise from Delhi and its chances of qualifying are now as good as nil. The three-time champions are almost knocked out of the the contention of making it to the playoffs.
So,ladies and gentlemen, what does it mean for both Titans and Patna?
Qualifications & Eliminations on Day 60:
1. Tie between U Mumba-Bengaluru & Win for Jaipur
- Both U Mumba and Bengaluru will go to 56. Jaipur will go to 57. Patna and Telugu can now reach a maximum points of 55. Both Patna and Telugu will be out.
2. Win for U Mumba & Win for Jaipur
- U Mumba will go to 58 points, Jaipur will be on 57 points.
- But 2 of Bengaluru's remaining 3 matches are against Jaipur and UP Yoddha. So one of Bengaluru or UP Yoddha will surely cross 55, knocking out Patna and Telugu Titans.
3. Win for Bengaluru & Win for Jaipur
- A win for UP Yoddha on Saturday will then knock out Patna and Telugu.
- For Patna & Telugu to qualify, UP & MUM have to get less than 2 points from remaining matches.
