LIVE PKL 2019 | Match 131 ā Dabang Delhi KCĀ vs U Mumba
On the final day of the league stage in the seventh edition, Dabang Delhi will be taking on U Mumba in the first game of the evening in Greater Noida. After playing a second-string side in their last game, Delhi might play a mix of new and regular players in their last game before the semi-finals.
In their last match, Dabang Delhi rested almost all their regular players apart from Meraj Sheykh who was leading a young side. Coach Krishna Kumar Hooda said that they owe the youngsters a chance and Delhi gave it to them. Though the team lost by 17 points there were positives to take from the match. The players who impressed the most were Neeraj Narwal with a Super Ten and Sombir with six tackles and three raid points. Both the departments were not up to the challenge thrown by UP Yoddha. Delhi still has a chance to finish at the top of the table and they would want to grab it with open hands.
U Mumba put up an interesting show against Haryana Steelers last night and ended up winning the match by six points. They saw a ride of upcoming talent in the face of Ajinkya Kapre who scoredĀ nine raid points and was the lead raider for the team even the skipper impressed with 8 tackle points in 11 attempts. Apart from them, Dong Geon Lee scoredĀ nine raid points too and Sandeep Narwal s complete a High Five. If U Mumba wins today and Up Yoddha loses they will go to the 3rd sport and will play them as Yoddha will be on the 7th spot. Mumba might play with the same seven today as well.Ā
Key players
Naveen Kumar
He might be brought off the bench before the semi-final to get him a match practice or Coach Hooda might give more chances to a rookie. Naveen has made 256 points in 20 matches and he has been the key player of his team throughout.Ā
Ajinkya Kapre
He will get another chance simply based on his last match's performance in which he scored 9 points in 16 raids. If Arjun Deshwal doesn't recover from his injury in time for the playoffs, he could be a viable option for a support raider. So he would look to give his best so that he could get more opportunities in the near future.Ā
