Strong Start from Dabang Delhi
While Ashu was expected to lead from the onset, it was Neeraj Narwal who opened the scoring spree with a multi-point raid, dismissing Parteek and Mayur Kadam. Ashu soon joined in, adding pressure on the Warriorz defense.
However, Devank Dalal, Bengal’s talisman, hit back in style with successive dismissals of Surjeet Singh and a series of successful raids. Ajinkya Pawar’s Super Raid, though, tilted the balance once again as he dismissed Parteek, Ashish Malik, and Vishwas S. At the first Time-Out, Delhi led by a slender 10-9 margin.
Ajinkya, Fazel, and Ashu Shift Momentum
Ajinkya Pawar turned the tide with a brilliant defensive tackle on the Warriorz skipper, paving the way for Fazel Atrachali’s return. The Iranian veteran wasted no time, pulling off an ankle hold on Vishwas S.
A Do-or-Die raid from Ajinkya followed, dismissing Parteek and Nitesh Kumar, and Delhi soon inflicted the first ALL OUT in the 4th minute, taking a 10-point lead. The half ended 23-14 in Delhi’s favour, with both Ashu and Devank showcasing their scoring prowess.
Warriorz Fight, But Delhi Dominate
Devank Dalal reached his fourth consecutive Super 10 early in the second half, but Ashu Malik responded immediately, securing his own Super 10 with a clinical touch point on Ashish. Delhi’s defense stood tall with timely Super Tackles, while Neeraj Narwal delivered a stunning Super Raid to widen the gap.
Ajinkya Pawar added to the tally with defensive points, and a second ALL OUT on Bengal stretched Delhi’s lead to 15 points. The Warriorz tried to salvage pride through Parteek’s late tackle, but Delhi’s defenders retaliated swiftly to dismiss Manprit Pardeep.
Ashu Malik Seals the Deal
In the dying moments, Ashu Malik capped off the night with a flying raid in a Do-or-Die situation, sealing a 45-34 win. With Ashu’s 16 points, Ajinkya’s all-round show, and the defense contributing 11 points, Dabang Delhi once again underlined their championship pedigree.
