Bhopal, November 1, 2014 : United Singhs pulled off a great win after trailing for three quarters of the match as they registered a fine 64-59 win over Royal Kings USA in a close match on Saturday. After seeming to be on the losing side for much of the game, as they trailed 45-46 after three sessions, United came back very strongly in the final quarter to pull off a great win that brought them to 18 points with nine wins in 16 matches. Royal Kings are at the bottom with six points from 16 matches.
Meanwhile, soon after the first match, California Eagles, who are currently second on the Wave WKL points table got the maximum points without needing to flex their muscles as the Pakistan team Lahore Lions did not turn up.
California Eagles were awarded a walkover. The walkover for California Eagles took their tally to 20 from 17 matches, while Lahore is still at 12 points.
The Pakistanis claimed to have visa problems, but the Organisers clarified that as many as 21 Lahore Lions members, have Visas and 14 of them had eligible Visas for Bhopal. But Lahore Lions wanted their fixtures to be changed yet again.
According to the Organisers frequent changes have been causing problems to other teams as a result of which they turned down the request and decided to give a walkover to California Eagles.
Returning to the United Singhs clash with Royal Kings USA, it was a tense and close game with the difference staying inside three points for most part. The 60th match of the Wave WKL started on a high note with both teams, United Singhs’
For United the stars were Gagandeep Nagra (18 successful raids) and skipper Sandeep Sandhu, who had seven stops. Nagra was adjudged Man of the Match.
