Rahul Sethpal was an important cog in that defence. Their corners Fazel Atrachali and Rinku were also nearly flawless. Thalaivas’ raiders Manjeet and Ajinkya Pawar had no luck against a well-oiled Mumbai defence. Abhishek Singh’s heroic 3-point Super Raid paved way for another ALL OUT with 4 minutes remaining for the interval. Thalaivas had no control in the first – perhaps best summed by captain Surjeet’s bizarre decision to go in for a raid and not cross the touch line thereby making it an illegal raid. The scores were 26-11 at the interval with Mumbai clearly on top.
The 15-point gap didn’t dampen the spirits of the Tamil team as they started the second half on the front foot. A combination Super Tackle on Abhishek Singh followed by a 2-point raid by Manjeet changed the direction of the wind. Ajinkya Pawar then got a 2-point raid (+2 for ALL OUT) to complete the clean-up act and further reduce Mumbai’s lead. Thalaivas continued to push hard as they smelled the possibility of taking the lead. Ajinkya Pawar’s 2-point raid in the 15 th minute made it a 4-point game and gave Thalaivas the chance to inflict another ALL OUT.
But Mumbai’s Fazel Atrachali and Harendra Kumar clinched 2 successful tackles to take the match away from Thalaivas’ grasp. U Mumba will breathe a huge sigh of relief after almost squandering a 15-point lead. The win will also help the Season 2 champions improve their chances of a playoff spot.
