Match 29: U.P. Yoddha vs Tamil Thalaivas

Trailing 16-11 at the break, the side from the South came back with style after the break as Ajay Thakur shrugged off his sluggish start and took three points in his first two raids - taking out the dangerous Nitesh with his first and then Sumit and Monu Goyat together.

UP were down to their last man on the mat at 16-15 but Amit saved the day with a fantastic effort, slipping under the Tamil Thalaivas chain and snapping up two points, while also reviving two of his teammates.

The momentum was still with the Thalaivas but they failed to make the most of it as the UP defence continued its strong run. They completed two Super Tackles in a row - getting rid of the dangerous Rahul Chaudhari and Ajay Thakur - and also opened up a six-point lead in the process at 23-17
