TEAMS PREVIEW

U Mumba Preview

After a tough loss in their first match of the season against Dabang Delhi KC 36-28, Mumbai bounced back with a comeback win over the Gujarat Giants. Mumbai trailed early in the first 10 minutes of the game, but later their raiders picked up pace, especially Ajit Chavan. He started the turnaround, and then Zafardanesh took over, finishing with 8 raid points and also contributing two tackle points, finishing with a game-high 10 points.

Manjeet also contributed with three raid points. Left corner defender Sombir, with four tackle points, was the top defender in the game. Sunil Kumar, with three tackle points, was the second-best defender. Parvesh Bhainswal, with two tackle points late in the second half, proved to be a game-changer.

U Mumba will have a tough time against one of the highest-scoring raiding teams, and their raiders will have to do really well to take right corner Fazel Atrachali out of the equation. Ajit Chavan will look to target the fragile cover region of the Warriors to garner raid points.

In terms of stats, U Mumba is averaging 18 raid points and 10 tackle points per game this season. Sombir, averaging two tackle points, is the best defender, and Amir Mohammad Zafaradanesh, averaging 8.5 raid points per game, is the top raider.

U Mumba Probable Starting 7: Amirmohammad Zafardanesh, Manjeet, Ajit Chavan, Sombir, Sunil Kumar, Parvesh Bhainswal,Rinku
