The second match of the day in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 6 saw the home side Gujarat Fortunegiants battle it out against the UP Yoddha as the interzone challenge week came to an end at the Ahmedabad leg of the competition.
The first match of the day saw the Bengaluru Bulls defeat Jaipur Pink Panthers in a 45-32 scoreline after a stunning performance by Pawan Kumar Sehrawat as he picked up 19 raid points.
The UP Yoddha came into the match on the back of a loss against Jaipur Pink Panthers on the first day of the Ahmedabad leg.
Their raiding unit needed to buck up after a poor showing against the Panthers as Rishank Devadiga and Shrikant Jadhav found it tough to get going. Nitesh Kumar continued his good form in the defence.
Gujarat Fortunegiants saw their winning streak come to an end as they drew their match last night against the Bengaluru Bulls in a thriller last night. Sachin Tanwar returned to action last night and was back amongst points picking up a Super 10 yesterday.
The first half of the match saw the Gujarat Fortunegiants take control from the get-go as they got an early all-out in the match after the strong defensive showing from Sunil Kumar did not allow any leeway for the UP Yoddha raiders.
UP Yoddha managed to restrict the gap down to nine points at the end of the first half but lost their captain Rishank Devadiga as he was subbed off after being hurt during a raid. The first half ended 19-10 in favour of the home side Gujarat Fortunegiants.
The second half was a more closed state of affairs as UP Yoddha crawled their way back into contention after the good all-around performance.
Shrikant Jadhav scored a stunning Super Raid to get the all-out on the home side. The match went down to the final two minutes as UP Yoddha resisted for a long time but finally, Gujarat got the crucial all-out to seal the win.
The home side won 37-32 in the end with their second win of the home leg.
