U Mumba vs UP Yoddhas
U Mumba fought against a strong UP Yoddha side to register their first victory of the season. Right from the start it was the U Mumba defenders who produced a valiant effort against UP Yoddha raiders as they helped their team lead the contest. After conceding the opening points to U Mumba, star raider Pardeep Narwal helped the scoreboard even out for UP Yoddhas. The game thereafter was a neck-to-neck battle between both the teams, with defenders from both the teams outshining the raiders. However, raiders from U Mumba took charge in the latter half of the first half and raced ahead. The first half came to an end with UP Yoddhas trailing U Mumba by 5 points as scoreboard read 14-9.
UP Yoddhas started the second half on an impressive note earning the first points through a Super Tackle, which was followed with a successful raid by Surender Gill. UP Yoddhas added another tackle point to their kitty immediately after reducing their point deficit to just two points as the score board read 15-13 still to U Mumba’s favour. However, while UP Yoddhas performed well in their defensive efforts earning quick points through another super tackle, but they could not sustain their momentum and were inflicted by an All Out from U Mumba with less than five minutes remaining in the second half. At this stage U Mumba had a 7-point cushion over UP Yoddhas as the scoreboard read 23-16. The game thereafter saw UP Yodhas trying to make a comeback with some impressive efforts from star raider Pardeep Narwal and Surender Gill but they still fell short by just 7 points.

Dabang Delhi clinched a terrific victory against Gujarat Giants as they secure a spot on the top of the points table. Delhi and Gujarat were both patient to start with in the early exchanges, with neither able to attain a big lead. While Rakesh HS was running the show for the Giants, captain Naveen Kumar was looking to drive his side on. The defenders were making quite a match of this as the raiders found it tough to pick up the points.
While Gujarat Giants managed to take a slender lead, it was Manjeet who first stood up for Dabang Delhi as he took two men out to help Delhi level the scores. Soon Naveen started to rake up a few quick points for Delhi as Gujarat lost their plot towards the end of the first hal by conceding an all out. By the time the first half finished, Delhi led 21-17. The Giants threatened to storm back into the game early in the second half, however, Manjeet and co managed a Super Tackle, helping Delhi to extend their lead further. Delhi was running away with the game, and everyone on the team was chipping in with crucial points as Naveen completed his Super 10 as well.
The Giants tried their best to reduce the gap but defending champions Delhi were on fire on the night, leading by 14 points in the 35th minute. Krishan, Ashu Malik, Manjeet and Vishal backed up the brilliant Naveen superbly as Delhi walked off the mat with a huge victory.
