Delhi storm into UTT semifinals
Dabang Delhi TTC defeated PBG Pune Jaguars 10-5 to secure a spot in the Ultimate Table Tennis Season 7 semifinals. The team overcame a difficult start to dominate the match and maintain their record of reaching the semifinals in every league season.
Why it matters
The result confirms the competitive landscape of professional table tennis in India and highlights the performance of key athletes in the league.
With qualification in its own hands, Dabang Delhi TTC rose to the occasion, dismantling PBG Pune Jaguars 10-5 to storm into the semifinals of Ultimate Table Tennis Season 7 on Thursday night.
Powered by commanding performances from all four paddlers in its navy blue and gold colours at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium, Delhi sealed the fourth and final semifinal berth and set up a clash against league topper Dempo Goa Challengers.
Delhi began the evening knowing it needed at least nine points from its final league tie to stay alive. The task briefly looked tricky when Omar Assar gave Pune a dream start, winning the opening two games of the all-Egyptian contest against Youssef Abdulaziz to keep the Jaguars’ faint hopes of a miraculous qualification alive.
