Why it matters
This report covers the competitive landscape of a regional professional sports league, reflecting the growing popularity of archery as a spectator sport.
Mighty Marathas rallied to beat Chero Archers in a thrilling contest of the Archery Premier League season 2 at People’s Plaza on Monday.
Archers, in trademark fashion, started strongly and took the first set. But there was little to separate the teams in the second and third, and the points were split. The final set was also a high-scoring affair and it needed a double check of where the arrows landed before Marathas levelled the scores and took the proceedings into a hit-or-miss shootoff.
Aman Saini and Dhiraj Bommadevara nailed their arrows into the yellow ring.
Mathias Fullerton was the only one to do the same for Archers, giving Marathas a 2-1 win via the tiebreaker.
