Pro Kabaddi 2023 LIVE Score, Match 79: Patna Pirates vs UP Yoddhas - PKL 10 Live Updates and Commentary

FULL-TIME! Patna Pirates 34-31 UP Yoddhas

If you want to see a complete team game, watch the highlights of today's show by Patna Pirates. Initially, it was Manjeet and Sandeep Kumar who took charge of raiding ensuring Patna maintained their lead. But it was their defense that outshone everyone. Ankit got a High 5 at the left corner but Babu M was the one who kept Pardeep Narwal in his pocket. Four tackle points for him and each time it was Pardeep. Could have got the fifth one as well if other defenders had shown support. Additionally, what a clutch player Sachin is. Had just one point after 30 minutes but in no time added five more to his tally to ensure UP doesn't get a Super Tackle. 

Meanwhile, for UP Yoddhas, a disappointing raiding performance except for Shivam Chaudhary who starred in the first half. Pardeep was dominated completely. The defense had a decent day with Ashu getting three points and Hitesh securing a High 5. Sumit didn't shine in defense but got four raid points that helped UP survive from the all-out attack. 

With this win, Patna does a double over UP Yoddhas in PKL 10 to win their sixth match of the season and climb up to the seventh spot. This is it from today's coverage and this is Meeth Agrawal signing off.

Hello, Hello!! A very warm welcome to tonight's Sportskeeda's live coverage of PKL 2023 Match 79 between the Patna Pirates and UP Yoddhas. We have now set foot in Hyderabad at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. 

It's going to be a match between two sides who haven't seen daylight in their last few matches and are eager to get a win next to their name. The Pirates from Patna are on a four-game winless streak despite having a well-balanced squad. The raiders Sachin and Manjeet have been brilliant but it's their defense, especially captain Neeraj Kumar who has given away many points. 

Meanwhile, on the other side, Pardeep Narwal will be against his former side with whom he has achieved immense success. He hasn't been the same for UP Yoddhas but still has the opportunity to show his critics why he is known as the Record-Breaker. The absence of Surender Gill has pinched them a lot as they are on a five-game losing run. The other players haven't been able to review Pardeep who also has been pretty inconsistent. 

We can expect both sides to eye for redemption and in that process, they will put their best foot forward. So do not miss this game which promises to be a thrilling action. I, Meeth Agrawal, will guide you to whatever happens tonight. Keep your popcorn ready and stay tuned!
