With today's win, U Mumba moved to second spot with 40 points and with four matches in hand are almost certain of making it to the final four. On the other hand, Bengaluru Bulls suffered their 10th loss in 12 games.
It was a dream game for the defending champions as everybody contributed to the win, including the substitutes.
It was Rishank Devadiga (7), captain Anup Kumar (6) and Rakesh Kumar (5) who led the assault with solid back up from the defence where Iranian Fazel Atrachali grew in stature with each match.

Only Pawan Kumar could put up some resistance with four raiding and one tackle point for Bengaluru Bulls.
