Hyderabad: A dominant Dabang Delhi K.C. secured an impressive 41-34 win over Bengaluru Bulls at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag on Tuesday.
A late fightback from the Bulls wasn’t enough, as Ashu Malik’s 15 points, Neeraj Narwal’s 7, and strong defensive efforts from Surjeet Singh, Fazel Atrachali, and Saurabh Nandal sealed the win for Delhi. Alireza Mirzaian’s Super 10 was the only highlight for the Bulls.
Dabang Delhi made a dominant start against Bengaluru Bulls, surging to a commanding lead. Ashu Malik was at the forefront, picking up quick raid points, with the highlight being a brilliant Super Raid, dismissing Yogesh, Aashish Malik, and Ankush Rathee in one swoop, swinging the momentum heavily in Dabang Delhi’s favor.
The Bulls struggled to find their footing, with only Alireza Mirzaian showing some resistance. They were dealt a further blow when Surjeet Singh’s strong tackle on Mirzaian inflicted the first ALL OUT of the match. That setback meant the Bulls trailed 13-5 at the 10-minute mark, staring at a tough climb back into the contest.
Dabang Delhi carried their early momentum into the latter stages of the first half, maintaining a firm grip into the break with a 21-11 lead over Bengaluru Bulls. Agent Ashu was unstoppable, constantly testing the Bulls’ defense with sharp raids. He was rewarded with a Super 10 before halftime, while Neeraj Narwal chipped in with crucial raid points.
For the Bulls, Alireza offered some resistance with four raid points, while Aashish’s efforts gave them a brief spark. However, repeated setbacks — including two dismissals of Sanjay and unsuccessful raids by Akash — kept them on the back foot. With a 10-point cushion at the break, Dabang Delhi looked firmly in control, leaving Bengaluru with plenty of work to do in the second half
