In first match on Day 53, U Mumba produced a solid all-round performance to beat Bengal Warriors 31-20 in the Inter Zone Challenge Week of Pro Kabaddi 2018.

Siddharth Desai was the top scoring raider for U Mumba as he scored 7 points. Maninder Singh had a quiet match for Bengal Warriors but still ended up being their top scorer with 5 raid points.
Both teams' defence began brightly as they picked up tackle points to get going. Bengal Warriors held the early advantage as they led 5-2 after five minutes.

U Mumba shifted gears, scoring five points in three minutes to lead 10-7. Siddharth then sprung into action and picked up three points in two raids to give U Mumba 15-9 lead at the first half.

The Warriors' star raider Maninder picked up his second point of the match in the 23rd minute as they trailed 12-21. Surender was a rock at the back for U Mumba as he tackled Bengal raiders throughout the match. With less than 10 minutes to go U Mumba led 24-13 and were on course to a comfortable victory. Bengal Warriors' raiders couldn't get their footing throughout the match and with Maninder struggling to get points their fate was sealed early in the second half only. In the last five minutes of the match, U Mumba showed excellent game management skills and didn't give many points to Bengal Warriors.
