PKL: Ajith and Abhishek’s astounding performance leads U Mumba to big win over Jaipur Pink Panthers

Arjun
Deshwal
scored
his
fourth
straight
Super
ten
and
finished
the
night
with
14
points.

The
game
got
off
to
a
cagey
start
with
both
teams
playing
sound
defence,
not
allowing
the
opponent
to
pick
up
points
with
ease.
The
Pink
Panthers
led
5-4
when
a
Super
Raid
from
Ajith
flipped
the
script
of
the
contest.
The
raider
added
another
touch
point
to
his
tally
before
teammate
Abhishek
Singh
took
care
of
the
final
two
Pink
Panthers
players
in
the
same
raid
to
inflict
the
game’s
first
All
Out
and
give
his
side
a
five-point
lead.

Deshwal
continued
to
add
points
to
his
team’s
total,
but
the
Pink
Panthers’ defence
found
it
challenging
to
contain
U
Mumba’s
raiders
as
they
extended
their
team’s
lead
to
seven.
Ajith
finished
a
stellar
half
with
a
two-point
raid
that
left
the
Pink
Panthers
with
just
two
men
on
the
mat
and
trailing
by
nine.

U
Mumba
took
just
one
minute
after
the
restart
to
take
care
of
the
final
two
men
to
inflict
a
second
All
Out
on
the
Pink
Panthers
to
extend
their
lead
to
12.
Deshwal
tried
his
best
to
bring
his
side
back
into
the
game,
but
Ajith
and
Abhishek
continued
to
pick
points
that
helped
U
Mumba
maintain
their
double-digit
lead.

U
Mumba’s
defence
then
managed
to
send
Deshwal
to
the
bench
with
a
bullish
tackle,
and
skipper
Deepak
Hooda
soon
followed
suit
as
the
Pink
Panthers
were
reduced
to
just
two
players
on
the
mat.
Jaipur’s
defence
stepped
up
to
Super
Tackle
Ajith
and
Abhishek
in
quick
succession,
but
it
was
too
little
too
late,
as
U
Mumba
won
the
game
by
nine
points.
