Super 10 heroes Maninder Singh, Nitin Kumar land major blow on Dabang Delhi K.C. to kickstart Delhi Leg

Skipper Maninder Singh's 11 points, ably supported by protege Nitin Kumar's 13 points, made Bengal Warriors proud with exceptional Super 10s to seal an impressive 45-38 win over Dabang Delhi K.C. at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in Delhi on Friday. A strong start for the home team saw them take the lead in the first half, but they were pegged back by an all-round Bengal Warriors performance despite Ashu Malik's own Super 10. 

Maninder Singh, Bengal Warriors' star raider, gave his team the ideal start. The defence of Bengal Warriors built on this start but skipper Ashu Malik stole crucial points for Dabang Delhi K.C. with consecutive raid points. Dabang Delhi K.C. built on their early start by inflicting an All-Out on Bengal Warriors just eight minutes into the game. 

With a tight two-point deficit, Bengal Warriors restarted in style as their talisman Maninder Singh and Vishwas S kept up with the in-form Dabang Delhi K.C.. However, Ashu did not let the score settle, constantly pushing their opponents onto the backfoot. The Dabang Delhi K.C. skipper continued his scintillating form as his team got Bengal Warriors All-Out for a second time in the first half. The second All-Out meant that Bengal Warriors had a deficit of six points at the start of the second half. 

Bengal Warriors then got off to a flier in the second half, working hard to reduce their deficit from the first half. They earned their first All-Out just three minutes into the second 20 minutes after Ashu Malik completed his Super 10. This took them closer to the home side, after which Akshay Kumar tackled the opponent captain and gave his team the lead. 

Maninder Singh also led his team from the front, and his resilience bore fruit with another All-Out giving his team a cushion to lean on. He was ably supported by the young Nitin Kumar, who reached his Super 10 before his captain. Two more All-Outs followed for Dabang Delhi K.C. as Bengal Warriors raced to a big victory.
