AJITH, SUPER TACKLED!
Just two Jaipur defenders on the court and Ajith has been tackled by Deepak Singh. The Mumba raider tried his best to reach his side of the court and the Panthers defenders were not happy about the duration it took for the umpire to blow the whistle.

SUPER 10, ABHISHEK SINGH!
Second super 10 of the season for Mumba vice-captain Abhishek Singh. His first came in the season opener but was looking of colour since. This will give him a lot of confidence going forward.

Mumba's game to lose
Less than 5 minutes left in the contest and U Mumba have an 11-point lead. This is theirs to lose now. Just some smart play required.
Panthers 21-32 Mumba

10 minutes left!
Just 10 minutes left in the contest and U Mumba have a comfortable 10-point lead. But given how quickly things have turned around this season, they cannot afford to rest easy.

SUPER 10, AJITH!
Second consecutive super 10 for Ajith. What a star he has been for U Mumba this season!
Panthers 17-28 U Mumba
- 30 Dec 2021 2:33 PM GMT
SUPER 10, ARJUN DESHWAL!
Arjun Deshwal has completed his fourth Super 10 of the season. The Pink Panthers have scored 15 points so far tonight and 10 of them have come from Deshwal. What a sorry sight!
- 30 Dec 2021 2:31 PM GMT
ALL OUT, PINK PANTHERS!
The Pink Panthers have been wiped out for the second time just a minute into the second half. The Panthers defence has been clueless and the Mumba raiders have made sure they make the most of it.
Pink Panthers 13-25 Mumba

HALF TIME!
U Mumba's half, without an iota of doubt. The Panthers started well, but that Super Raid from Ajith has turned this around. The biggest difference between the two sides in the first half has been their raiding department.
While both the Mumba raiders - Abhishek and Ajith, managed to pocket point after point, the Pink Panthers have been heavily reliant on Arjun Deshwal for points from the attack. In fact, Deepak Niwas Hooda could only come up with one bonus towards the fag end of the first half. Deshwal would require some sort of support if Jaipur are to stay in this contest.
- 30 Dec 2021 2:15 PM GMT
ALL OUT, JAIPUR PINK PANTHERS!
The Jaipur Pink Panthers have been wiped out in 13 minutes. Ajith started it with a super raid, but it is Abhishek Singh who comes up with the kill.
- 30 Dec 2021 2:12 PM GMT
Jaipur reduced to three men!
U Mumba have taken a 7-6 lead and have reduced the Panthers down to three men. 10 minutes remain in the first half.
