At halftime, Gujarat held a slender 16-15 lead, with Himanshu Singh raiding effectively. But Shadloui, the Iranian superstar, could not find his rhythm and was caught multiple times by U Mumba’s alert defense.
Drama unfolds in the second half
The second half was packed with thrill. Gujarat managed to inflict an all-out and looked in control, but U Mumba bounced back with a series of Super Tackles. With minutes left, the scores were tied at 29-29, taking the game into a rare tiebreaker under the new PKL rules.

The contest ended with U Mumba edging Gujarat Giants 6-5 in the tiebreaker, sealing their first win of the season. The crowd at Visakhapatnam roared as the Mumbai side celebrated a famous victory.
