Match 1: U Mumba vs Bengaluru Bulls
U Mumba cruised to a dominant 48-28 victory over the Bengaluru Bulls in Vizag, securing two crucial points in their PKL 2025 campaign. Led by the ever-reliable Ajit Chouhan, who finished with 13 raid points, Mumba asserted control early and never looked back.
The first half saw Mumba build a 17-point lead (29-12), thanks to a stunning super raid from Ajit, which wiped out six Bulls players in a single move. Sathish Kannan and Rinku also made key contributions in both raiding and defense, while Parvesh Bhainswal was solid in the back.
The second half followed the same script, with Mumba maintaining pressure and extending their lead to 20 points midway through. Lokesh Ghosliya and Sathish added crucial points in the final minutes, while defenders Rinku and Parvesh sealed the game with strong tackles.
For Bengaluru, it was another disappointing outing. Despite some late efforts from Alireza Mirzaian and Deepak Sankar, the Bulls couldn’t match Mumba’s tempo and consistency. This marks their third straight loss, leaving their playoff hopes in serious doubt.
With this emphatic win, U Mumba bounce back strongly after their midweek defeat and continue to be a force to reckon with this season.

Strong defensive efforts and composed raiding saw Haryana surge ahead, taking a 33-27 lead with 5 minutes remaining, and ultimately sealing the win at 37-32.
