Pro Kabaddi League: Ashu Malik’s seventh Super 10 in eight matches helped Dabang Delhi K.C. bag their third win of the season with an impressive 33-30 triumph over Bengal Warriorz in a Season 11 clash of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) at the GMCB Indoor Stadium here on Thursday. Ashu Malik's superb show and vital contributions from Vinay and Ashish, helped Dabang Delhi get over the line despite Nitin Dhankar's fighting 15 points for the Bengal Warriorz.

Bengal Warriorz started the game on the front foot as Mighty Mani and Fazel Atrachali hit the ground running with a bonus point and a tackle point respectively. The start seemed to be a statement from the Season 7 champions, but they didn’t make the most of having Ashu Malik off the mat. With a solid effort on the defensive end from Dabang Delhi K.C., they kept themselves in the game in the opening exchanges.

It was Ashish who helped them level things up with a two-point raid. After the defensive units for both sides kept dictating the tempo of the game, it was a couple of errors from Bengal Warriorz that gave Dabang Delhi K.C. the lead.
