U.P. Yoddha take on U Mumba next at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Mahalunge, Balewadi in Pune on Wednesday with an aim to maintain their recent winning run.
The team made their way in the top six on Monday with a win over Jaipur Pink Panthers and another win at the same venue will see them move on to the fourth spot in the Season 7 standings. U Mumba, meanwhile, will be looking to reclaim their fifth position from U.P. Yoddha and will be expected to fight hard to make that happen.

Best Raider: Abhishek Singh
Best Defender: Fazel Atrachali
U Mumba’s recent positive run of results was halted by Bengal Warriors in their previous game which they lost in spite of a valiant fightback. Arjun Deshwal was brilliant in raiding and scored 14 raid points for the side in that match, while ‘Sultan’ Fazel Atrachali scored 4 tackle points. However, the rest of the team could only manage 8 points between themselves with the team’s leading raider this season, Abhishek Singh, accounting for 3 of them. Their defence, which has the likes of Sandeep Narwal and Surinder Singh failed to make a big impact. They will, however, be itching to get going again and live up to their billing against an in-form U.P. Yoddha attack.
