While on the other hand post their 2-2 draw against Uttar Pradesh Wizards in Lucknow, the Sardar Singh-led team still looks confident of stamping their dominance in the League. With both the teams looking at a win tomorrow it will yet again be an exciting clash in the League. After losing their opener, Ranchi Rays struck hold against Dabang Mumbai yesterday. Trailing by 0-1 in the third quarter, Ranchi Rays came back strong by winning the match 2-1 leaving the hosts stunned. What turned the tables in their favor were Barry’s stunning field goals which gave no chance to Dabang Mumbai’s David Harte to stop the ball going past him. With a win in their kitty Ashley Jackson’s team would look at registering their second win against the Defending Champions. On the other hand with a draw in their game against Uttar Pradesh Wizards, Sardar Singh and team would look at opening their winning account.
While being aware that they are just one game old, they will not wait further to get their winning streak going. Also they are conscious that their defence has to come out good to stop Barry Middleton, Manpreet Singh and Ashley Jackson’s seamless coordination and the ability to get past the opponents’ defence and score goals.
