Pro Kabaddi League: The raiding trio of Maninder Singh (10 points), Nitin Kumar (8 points) and S Vishwas (8 points) made all the difference as the Bengal Warriors got one step closer to the qualification bracket with a massive 46-34 win over the U Mumba at the Netaji Indoor Stadium here on Monday.

In an electric start, the Warriors notched up six unanswered points in the opening five minutes, before U Mumba could even open their account. And even when they did, they were pegged back almost immediately, with the Warriors registering the first ALL OUT of the game to take an 11-2 lead.

U Mumba clawed back some of the lead in the next period of the game, Shivam, but the Warriors' ability to limit Amirmohammad Zafardanesh's raids was key to their success as they locked in their lead for the half. They went into halftime leading by a massive seven points.
