Haryana Steelers’ star man Monu Goyat had an ineffective first half and made just one successful raid in the first half. While U Mumba’s raiders were doing a fine job, in defence Fazel Atrachali stood like a rock. Haryana’s defence also failed to keep U Mumba raiders in check.

U Mumba lived up to the “Saturday Night, U Mumba Chi Fight” as they completely dominated the proceedings in the first half. At the end of the first half U Mumba led 27-15.

If first half was disappointing for Haryana, then U Mumba piled more misery on them in the second half. An all out was inflicted in the 27th minute and Haryana Steelers looked totally out of sorts. Such was U Mumba’s dominance that in 10 minutes of second half they scored 14 points compared to three by Haryana Steelers. Haryana Steelers substituted Monu Goyat early in the second half and he didn’t come back on the mat again.

Abhishek Singh achieved a super 10 in 35th minute as U Mumba led 43-19. In the last five minutes of the match, U Mumba took off their star players and gave their bench strength as did Haryana Steelers. U Mumba inflicted yet another all out in the 39th minute as they led 51-23.

Patna Pirates will play against UP Yoddha while Haryana Steelers will face Puneri Paltan in tomorrow’s matches.
