Puneri Paltan edged out U Mumba 26-24, as the home team continued its losing streak in the home leg in Mumbai on Saturday. The Jaipur Pink Panthers had defeated U Mumba 39-36 on Friday.
Paltan skipper Deepak Hooda (7 points) starred in their win. The Pune team was trailing 9-15 at the half-way mark, but they made a remarkable comeback in the second session to sneak out a win by just two points. The comeback included one all out of the home team.
It was once again a disappointing day for U Mumba skipper Anup Kumar, who produced an unsuccessful raid with a minute to go for the whistle, when his side needed him the most to bag points.
With this match, U Mumba now have five losses and three wins, while the Pune side recorded its fifth win in seven games.
