For Mumba, Anup Kumar (6) and Rishank Devadiga (8) were the top players in the raids while Sukesh Hegde (9) and Rahul Chaudhary (6) were the standout performers for the hosts.
Devadiga enthralled the spectators with a super raid gaining three points, making the hosts lose three points through an all-out just before the first half.
Titans also executed an all-out against Mumba by their well-thought out defence, gaining two points to take the score from 19-27 to 22-27.
