U Mumba went into the match without the services of the star raider Ajith Kumar, who got injured in the last match and the lack of confidence was visible in the raiding department. Patna Pirates tackled aggressively, taking advantage of Mumbai’s situation. 

Mumbai’s corner defenders Fazel Atrachali and Rinku made uncanny errors. Patna inflicted their first ALL OUT in the 6th minute of the match as Monu Goyat and Sachin found mistakes in the Mumbai defence. The Pirates opened a seven-point lead and continued to put pressure on Mumbai.

Ashish Sangwan produced a Super Tackle for Mumbai to give a glimmer of hope, but the lack of raiding didn’t help much. Rinku’s stunning one-man Super Tackle delayed Mumbai being ALL OUT for the second time as the first half ended 19-9 in favor of the Pirates.

Eventually, the Pirates got their second ALL OUT in only the first minute after the restart with Neeraj Kumar securing a High 5. The Pirates played smartly and began killing the time with slow raids while Iranian Mohammadreza Shadloui ensured their left corner remained safe.

U Mumba some rhythm in between and got close to inflicting an ALL OUT but Mohammadreza Shadloui produced a Super Tackle to stop them.

Pirates already had a 15-point lead heading into the last five minutes and they pulled out two stunning Super Tackles to put salt on Mumba’s wounds. The win helped the Pirates move to the top of the points table.
