Raid 22	Too many mistakes by the Bulls defense

Pawan Sehrawat has scored 7 points, low by his usual standards and Chandran Ranjith with 9 points. Harendra Kumar and Rinku of K7 fame are delivering for the Mumba defense.

Raid 38	Ashish Sangwan looking a decade younger in Mumba colors
Raid 43	First time today that abhishek singh has been tackled. Can the bulls follow through on this and get the game back in their favor
Raid 50	Finally. Ashish has proved to be Pawan's nemesis today. But Pawan gets one back.
Raid 53	Abhishek Singh pockets a bonus point.
Raid 54	What a debut tackle for Rahul Sethpal.. First raid on mat and he takes out MVP of the season Pawan Sehrawat
Raid 56	This is the power of having two top class raiders, so even when pawan isnt' firing - Chandran is keeping his team in the hunt.
Raid 59	Mayur Kadam has to be the man of the match, if bulls manage to win this. Has tackled out Abhishek both the times they managed it. Key moment?
Raid 60	Pawan hasn't looked dominant today at all, and was struggling even at this time with three key defenders on mat. if Pawan cannot convert this all out , there is no way the bulls can come back into this game.
Raid 62	This could be Fazel first point of the day, but his value to the team is not measured only in points scored. They way he has supported his defense everytime it mattered. And the way he has stayed on mat has ensured that the all out never really pushed back u mumba. CAPTAINCY at its best.
Raid 63	A tough time for bulls. They need to attack the raiders. But did they attack a tad too soon?
Raid 64	Although he has taken out Rinku now. Rinku one of the star players in the K7 and who plys his trade for Chandigarh has made a fantastic debut into the PKL.
Raid 67	Abhishek Singh gets his man! He's been targeting Saurabh Nandal for a while now and finally gets him out with a smart Hand Touch.
Raid 68	Ranjith was claiming that he had stepped into the lobby and the defenders followed him. But without any reviews this wasn't a claim entertained by the referees.
Raid 69	Abhishek Singh eliminates Aman with a Hand Touch.
Raid 70	Ashish showing his previous team, what they are missing today. But to be fair to the bulls, their replacement for Ashish is the only defender who has covered himself in glory.
Raid 75	What a leap that was from Abhishek Singh!
