U Mumba and Haryana Steelers shared points after they played out a 24-24 draw in 32nd Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 match. 

Captain Fazel Atrachali had four points for Mumbai in a low-scoring game where defenders overpowered the raiders. But Haryana will only have themselves to blame after allowing Abhishek Singh, who had earlier been brilliantly handled by the defenders, to make a valid final raid of the match with scores tied and no time remaining. All-rounder Rohit Gulia scored 8 points for the Steelers.

The first half was a low-scoring affair despite both teams having in-form raiders like Abhishek Singh and Vikash Kandola in their line-up. 

U Mumba’s Rinku set the tone for the match with an incredible thigh hold in the first move of the match. His captain, Atrachali soon joined the party, charging raiders out on the right side of the mat.

At the other end, Mohit was particularly brilliant in the cover position as the Steelers thwarted the Mumbai raiders. The first half ended 10-12 in favour of the Steelers.

The Steelers continued to be rock solid in defence after the interval. The match changed in momentum when U Mumba introduced Ajinkya Kapre for Abhishek Singh. The young raider immediately got a raid point to reduce Haryana to three men on the mat.

Mumbai clinched the first all-out of the match with 8 minutes remaining to open a 3-point lead. With five minutes on the clock, U Mumba had a narrow lead of two points but the poor performance from the raiders remained a concern.

Vikash Kandola made the scores level with a final minute touch on Fazel Atrachali but Abhishek Singh was allowed to make a valid final raid by a poorly planned Haryana defence. He was the last man on the mat for Mumbai and by staying safe he prevented an all-out that would have helped Haryana win the match.
