U Mumba registered their fourth straight win as they beat bottom-placed Telugu Titans 54-32 in the Pro Kabaddi League here on Saturday. Guman Singh (10 raid points), Rinku (8 tackle points) and Sombir (8 tackle points) were the star players for U Mumba.
It proved to be an even game until the 10th minute when both sides were locked at seven points. However, U Mumba's Iranian raider Amir Mohammad Zafardanesh produced an impressive raid, dispossessing three defenders in the 11th minute.
They bore the Titans' defense again, beating Milad Jabbari and Parvesh Bhainswal to trigger the 'All Out' as U Mumba took a 17-12 lead five minutes before half-time.
Guman Singh produced a 'Super Raid', beating three defenders as U Mumba raced to a six-point lead at 21-15. Sombir also made a huge tackle on Prafull Zaware, completing a High 5 and giving his team a 27-18 lead.
The Titans, without the services of skipper Pawan Sehrawat, fought back, thanks to some powerful forays from Rajnish, as a 'Super Raid' in the 26th minute sent U Mumba down to a few men.
However, the U Mumba players handled the pressure well, with Jai Bhagwan trapping Rajnish for the 'Super Tackle' as they led 34-26 with 10 minutes remaining.
At that point, Jai fell down the baulk line and U Mumba were three men down. However, the Titans raiders were unable to capitalise, with U Mumba bringing in three 'Super Tackles' and Rinku being the man behind all the tackles.
Jai also obliterated the Titans' three-man defense with a 'Super Raid' and caused the third 'All Out' on the Titans. As U Mumba raced to a 19-point lead at 48-29, it was a 'Super Tackle' by Sombir that ended the game.
It was U Mumba's biggest win of the season, lifting them to seventh in the table.
