10-7 What a thud the mic picks up as Guman Singh fails in going low to find the midline. Itâs a pile of bodies
9-7 Lovely work from Vishvanath as he comes up with a raid that deserves to be in the highlight reel and he takes out Rinku
â 8-7 REVIEW UNSUCCESSFU. Inexperience from Tamil Thalaivas as they contest a bonus. Pawan would not have reviewed that. Review lost for no reason

7-6 Guman returns the favour and he takes out M Abishek in similar fashion
7-5 Same error. Why is Harender defending so high? He hands over a point to Visvanath V

6-4 The Harender-Surinder combination botches up a good .looking block and Narender picks up a point

5-3 First tackle point for Sagar and the defense as they get Ashish in their own half
4-3 Thalaivas get a bonus, courtesy Narender
3-3 We see Anil Chaprana talking to his team when Guman is raiding. Another provision made this season.

3-2 Narender keeps the Thalaivas scoreline ticking with a bonus
2-2 Reverse sliding toe touch from Narender. Heâs such a smart raider, is Narender He gets Rinku
1-2 Ooof clumsy here from Thalaivas as they give Guman Singh a solid start. Guman tries a half dubki with Sahil before him but theyâre too close to the midline. TWO POINTS
1-0 Narender begins with a bonus

6.30 PM IST: Waiting for the game to begin? Check out this interview from our archives of Pawan Sehrawat from our exclusive series. Kings of Kabaddi.
Tamil Thalaivas have had an underwhelming start to the campaign and are yet to win this season. The Thalaivas have lost one game while the other one finished in a tie. Narender has been one of the bright sparks for Tamil Thalaivas in attack with 13 raid points, while Himanshu, who is primarily a defender, has chipped in with seven raid points so far. The Thalaivas will also hope that Ajinkya Pawar, who has managed just three raid points in the campaign so far, can find form soon. In defence, Sahil Gulia and Sagar have been a reliable duo for Tamil Thalaivas as the two defenders have collectively scored 12 tackle points so far. M. Abishek has also contributed in defence for the Thalaivas with four tackle points and will have a role to play against U Mumba.
U Mumba, on the other hand, have a win and a loss to their name after their first two games of the season. They will head into this game after a seven-point win against U.P. Yoddhas in their last outing. The Season 2 champions are yet to produce their best in attack and will be eager to do so soon. Their best raider in the campaign so far has been Ashish, who has scored 10 raid points after two games. Their lead raider Guman Singh is yet to fire on all cylinders as he has scored nine points so far. Both Ashish and Guman Singh will be eager to put on better performances in the upcoming contest and they will be supported by Jai Bhagwan, who has managed eight raid points in Season 9. As far as tackles go, Surinder Singh, Rinku and Kiran Magar have been U Mumbaâs pillars in defence and have scored six tackle points each.Â
