At the end of the first half, Delhi enjoyed a nine-point lead at 22-13.
Desai got a ‘Super raid’ at the start of the second half as U Mumba began to mount a comeback. Then, Fazel put in a strong tackle on Ranjit as U Mumba trailed 17-22. Joginder Narwal’s tackle on Desai got Delhi two more points as it was a ‘Super tackle’.
