TEAMS PREVIEW

JD Noida Ninjas Preview

JD Noida Ninjas played out a high-octane 42-42 tie against Yamuna Yodhas in Match 34. 

The Ninjas’ offense was firing on all cylinders, led by the spectacular Rachit Yadav, who scored a massive 19 points, including one Super Raid. 

He was ably supported by raider Ajeet Singh, who chipped in with 9 valuable points to keep the scoreboard moving. However, the defense found it extremely difficult to contain the opposition's lead raider, Ritik Sharma. 

While defenders Navneet Nagar, Ajay Yadav, and substitute Rajdeep Kumar managed 2 tackle points each, the unit struggled with coordination, accumulating a high number of unsuccessful tackles. Despite these defensive lapses, the Ninjas' relentless raiding power ensured they stayed in the fight until the final whistle to split the points.
