Dabang Delhi vs U Mumba Match Preview: As the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 enters its crucial third leg, Match 50 promises a thrilling encounter between two sides eager to bounce back from recent defeats. Dabang Delhi K.C. will take on U Mumba on 25th September 2025 at 9 PM IST, at the Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium in Jaipur. Both teams are coming off disappointing results and will be desperate to return to winning ways, making this clash a must-watch for kabaddi fans.
Recent Form and Standings of Both Teams
Dabang Delhi are having a strong season so far, sitting comfortably at 2nd place on the points table with 12 points from 7 matches. They’ve registered 6 wins and have looked well-balanced in both attack and defense. However, they will be looking to recover after their recent loss to Patna Pirates, which slightly dented their momentum.
On the other hand, U Mumba are placed 7th on the table with 4 wins from 8 matches. While they’ve shown sparks of brilliance, especially in defense, inconsistency has been their biggest hurdle. Their last defeat came at the hands of Jaipur Pink Panthers, and they’ll be hoping to regroup quickly ahead of the season’s second half.
Dabang Delhi vs U Mumba Head-to-Head Record
Historically, U Mumba have had the upper hand in this rivalry with 13 wins from 24 encounters, while Dabang Delhi have won 10, and 1 match has ended in a tie. However, recent history tells a different story.
Since PKL Season 9, Delhi have completely turned the tide, winning 5 of the last 6 meetings. In fact, from PKL 7 to PKL 11, Delhi went unbeaten in 9 straight games against U Mumba, securing 8 wins and 1 draw during that run.
Despite the overall numbers, U Mumba have managed just one win in the last ten matches between the two sides, giving Delhi a clear psychological advantage.
Players to Watch Out For
Ashu Malik (Dabang Delhi)
Ashu Malik has been nothing short of phenomenal this season. The raider has become Delhi’s go-to man in attack, delivering consistent performances even when under pressure.
With 83 raid points in 7 matches, an average of 11.9 points per game, and five Super 10s, Ashu ranks among the top raiders of PKL 12. He’s currently third in the league for average raid points, and if he finds his rhythm early in the match, U Mumba’s defense could be in serious trouble.
Fazel Atrachali (Dabang Delhi)
Facing his former team U Mumba, veteran defender and Delhi captain Fazel Atrachali will be fired up. Known for his leadership and defensive acumen, his presence on the mat often lifts the entire team.
Sandeep Kumar (U Mumba)
In the absence of key players like Ajit, Sandeep Kumar has stepped up brilliantly. His 14-point game against Jaipur Pink Panthers, which included a 64% tackle success rate, nearly won the match for U Mumba. His last-raid tackle pushed the game into a tie-breaker, showing his calm under pressure.
Amirmohammad Zafardanesh (U Mumba)
Another name gaining momentum is Zafardanesh, who impressed with a 12-point Super 10 against Patna Pirates at a 63% success rate. His clutch performance in that match helped Mumba clinch a win, and his all-round abilities will be vital against Delhi.

Dabang Delhi vs U Mumba Match Prediction
While U Mumba possess some of the best defenders in the league and have shown resilience in crunch moments, Dabang Delhi have looked like one of the most complete sides this season. Their attack, led by Ashu Malik, combined with a seasoned defense under Fazel Atrachali, gives them the edge.
U Mumba will need their defense to be at its absolute best, especially against Delhi’s raiders who can take the game away quickly. If Zafardanesh and Sandeep can recreate their recent heroics, Mumba can put up a serious challenge. However, Delhi go into this match as favourites, thanks to better form, momentum, and recent dominance in the head-to-head.
