Patna: The Tamil Thalaivas scored a massive 50-34 victory over U Mumba at the Patliputra Indoor Stadium here on Sunday. Narender (13 points) and Ajinkya Pawar (10 points) put a beleaguered Mumba defence to the sword in a dominant performance.
Himanshu’s Super Raid to take out Bittu, Surinder Singh and Mukilan Shanmugam put the Thalaivas well in front early in the game as U Mumba’s defensive struggles rolled over to another week.
The Thalaivas inflicted the first All-Out of the game in the 8th minute and took full control of the game at 13-7. They never really dropped that lead through the first half. However, U Mumba fought back via Bittu’s Super Tackle and then a Super Raid by Amirmohammad Zafardanesh but the Thalaivas held a decent lead at 27-17 at the end of the first half.
The Thalaivas rode on the momentum and inflicted a second All-Out within the first minute of the second half to further extend their lead. Guman Singh picked up a few raid points, but the side from Tamil Nadu kept forging forward through Narender and Ajinkya Pawar’s magnificent raiding.
The Thalaivas earned their third All-Out in the 38th minute as they closed out a massive victory in the end.
