Dabang Delhi were looking short of ideas with both of their raiders and defenders struggling. Chandran Ranjit got a raid point as Dabang Delhi hit double figures.

Delhi's defence sent back Siddharth to the bench and scored their second tackle point to trail 11-24.

But with Siddharth looking in fine form and U Mumba's defence working in tandem there was no way of a comeback for Delhi.

U Mumba were in in cruise control mode for the last 10 minutes of the match and ran out comfortable winners.

In the other match of the day, Bengaluru Bulls dominated Tamil Thalaivas 36-22 to register their first win at home. The match was touted as Rohit Kumar (Bengaluru Bulls) vs Ajay Thakur and it proved to be just that.

Bengaluru proved their dominance right from the start and went into half time with a 17-12 lead.

Even though Ajay Thakur and Anil Kumar tried scripting some sort of a comeback for Thalaivas but it was Rohit's day and he helped his team come out victorious.
