	Naveen Kumar was the star for Dabang Delhi as they beat defending champions Bengaluru Bulls 44-38 to clinch a place in their mainden Pro Kabaddi final. The Delhi team produced an all-round performance, with Naveen Kumar impressing with his raids (15 raid points), and Anil Kumar dominating with his tackles (4 points).&nbsp;<br />

	In the second semifinal, Bengal Warriors defeated U Mumba 37-35 in a close encounter. In the final, two new teams -- Bengal Warriors and Dabang Delhi -- will take on each other.&nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div>
	The Bulls, just like in the Eliminator against UP Yoddha, had a slow start to the game, with Delhi dominating the first few plays. Ravinder Pahal seemed keen to maintain his dominance in duels against Pawan Sehrawat and started the match with a clean ankle hold of the &lsquo;High flyer&rsquo;.&nbsp;<br />

	Delhi dominated in all departments, with Naveen Kumar spearheading the attack, and inflicted the first All-Out of the match in the fifth minute to open up a 6-point lead. Pawan secured a three-point Super Raid in the seventh minute to reduce the margin but Delhi maintained their momentum thanks to an unstoppable Naveen Kumar.</div>
<br />
<div>
	<br />
	They inflicted another All-Out in the 13th minute to open up an 11-point lead as Naveen Kumar secured another Super 10 (his 20th consecutive). Naveen did make a rookie error as he failed to complete a raid on time which game Bulls some hope going into the break. Delhi lead Bulls 26-18 at half time.</div>
<br />
<div>
	Bulls opted for a more aggressive approach in the second half with the defenders consistently getting better of the Delhi raiders in Do-Or-Die situations. But what makes Delhi a complete unit is the presence of versatile, all-rounders and the likes of Chandran Ranjit and Vijay stepped up with valuable raid and tackle points to always maintain a healthy lead of the six or seven points.&nbsp;<br />

<div>
	Pawan Sehrawat completed his Super 10 but Dabang Delhi tackled him successfully on a consistent basis to not let the high flyer inspire a comeback. Delhi were aware of what Pawan Sehrawat could do on the mat and were keen on keeping the league&rsquo;s best raider in the dugout as much as possible. Bulls&rsquo; star raider spent more than 20 minutes away from the mat as Bulls struggled to reduce Delhi&rsquo;s lead.&nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div>
	At the other end, Delhi ensured Naveen Kumar spent very little time on the bench, and that helped them sure another All-Out with three minutes in the match to open up a 9-point lead. Despite Pawan&rsquo;s attempts in the last few minutes, Dabang defenders held firm to clinch a berth in the grand finale on Saturday.</div>
