Mumbai Rockets recovered poise after losing their trump game to edge out Hyderabad Hunters 2-1 for their second straight victory in the Premier Badminton League, yesterday.
The Rockets dropped the trump game, the fourth of the rubber, to squander a 2-1 advantage into a 1-2 deficit before HS Prannoy did the star turn by clinching the deciding fifth match, the second men's singles tie against fellow-Indian Sameer Verma 11-6, 11-7.
The narrow victory pushed the Rockets to the top of the league table after their crushing 6-0 victory over defending champions Delhi Acers last night in their lung-opener at the NSCI stadium in Mumbai.
The Rockets won three out of five matches overall in the rubber against the Hunters in PBL.
