Full Time: U Mumba will be disappointed. The teams were neck and neck till the halfway mark but the higher-placed side in the points table lost its composure.

PREVIEW
Telugu Titans
After a loss in its opening match of the Hyderabad leg, Telugu Titans now find themselves with just one win and 14 defeats this season. While Siddharth Desai has done his job as one of the team’s main raiders with more than 100 raid points this season, the likes of Monu Goyat and Vinay need to support him in the attack. Abhishek Singh has looked good in the last few games after missing a lot of the early season action and needless to say, he can be a big attacking asset for the Titans. The Titans’ defensive trio of Vishal Bhardwaj, Surjeet Singh and Parvesh Bhainswal also need to raise their game and act in unison in the upcoming matches.
