Harendra Kumar assisted Surinder singh by claiming 3 tackle points, Raider Jai Bhagwan brought back 3 raid points, Right corner Rinku won 2 tackle points, Lefft corner Mohit, Raiders Ashishย and Heidaralli Ekrami picked one point each.
In terms of team stats, both the teams maintained a raid strike rate of 31.71%, which was also Haryana’s raid success rate and Mumba had a below par 26.83%. But U Mumba dominated defensively as they kept a tackle success rate of 68.42% in front of Haryana’s 68.42%.
The Final score line at the end of full time was 32-31.
