Telugu Titans beat U Mumba 46-25 to finish its campaign with a win in the ProKabaddi here on Tuesday.
U Mumba finished on top with 50 points after the end of the match which was of academic interest. It was the superb all-round display from Pradeep Kumar, who had six raiding and three defence points.
He had splendid support from Rohit Baliyan 8 (7 raid and 1 bonus) and Prashant Rai 9 (8 raid and 1 bonus) points. The winners were 20-12 up at half-time with one all-out scored in the 15th minute.
Mumba was not able to get their act going though they tried to keep pace with their rivals up to 9-9. This was possible due to the efforts of Captain Pradeep Kumar and Bhupender who had four and two points to their credit.
U Mumba faded after the break as Prashant Rai and Rohit Baliyan stepped up the gas and a few failed attempts by the rival defence especially E.V. Anoop and Jeeva Gopal led to the Titans opening up a lead of 32-18 with a second all-out.
Iran’s captain Fazel Atrachali showed some promise initially by super tackling rival Prashant Rai but he could not replicate that thereafter. Prashant came up with a super raid of three at that time.
The results: Telugu Titans 46 bt U Mumba 25; Patna Pirates 38 bt Puneri Paltan 21.
