Puneri Paltan’s youngsters produced another collective performance to beat U Mumba 36-34 in the second match of the day. The men in orange made it two wins in two Maharashtra Derbies as they overcame a stiff challenge from Mumbai.

Raiders Mohit Goyat (9 points) and Aslam Inamdar (8 points) once again impressed with their attack while young Abinesh Nadarajan marshalled the defence for Pune with a High 5 (6 points).

The win will give coach Anup Kumar’s Pune side much-needed confidence in their attempt to clinch a playoff spot. Mumbai’s Ajith Kumar scored a Super 10 but didn’t get the ample support required to seal a victory.
