Patna Pirates Vs U.p. Yoddhas 28 October 2022

Alright! That was a good match to cap off this Friday evening's Triple Panga. Thanks for tuning into this coverage with me, Saikrishna MD. There's lots more PKL action coming to you on the weekend. Until this, adios!

FULL TIME! Patna Pirates 34 - 29 U.P. Yoddhas

The second half had a completely contrasting theme to that of the first twenty. The game opened up and both the teams upped the ante, making it a very exciting close encounter. Sachin registered a Super 10 and Rohit Gulia bagged a good number of points to seal the win for the Pirates. Surender Gill had a quiet day at the office, while Pardeep Narwal made good progress in the second half, when he put up a Super 10, which went in vain. In the end, it was coach Ravi Shetty's Patna Pirates who played the better game, and they took away those five points, and U.P. Yoddhas won't go back empty-handed tonight. Instead, they'll take a point from this game and hope to bounce back soon.

HALF TIME! Patna Pirates 13 - 11 U.P. Yoddhas

This has been a low scoring first twenty both teams didn't take much of a risk to begin with. At the half way mark the three-time champions, Patna Pirates hold onto a 2-point lead over the Yoddhas. Rohit Gulia has picked up the most raid points here and on the defensive end Monu has been highly effective for the Pirates. For the U.P. Yoddhas, their firepower ie, the attack duo of Surender Gill and Pardeep Narwal hasn't gotten off to a pacey start, but defensively Nitesh Kumar has been solid for them. An interesting second half coming up!

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda’s coverage of the PKL season 9. The Pune leg of PKL has gotten off to a fabulous start here this evening and we have got to see two amazing matches, while the third ratchet up the excitement levels even more. Two quality sides, Patna Pirates and U.P. Yoddhas, who have got some unreal firepower in their ranks, will square off in today’s Triple Panga fixture. After taking blows in their initial matches, the Pirates seem to have gotten into their never-say-die attitude and started to show their ability on the mat following a win and a tie. The Yoddhas, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to their campaign, but they have had a number of positives during the course of their initial matches and will hope to convert those into much-needed wins down the road.

The strong defensive core of Patna Pirates, consisting of Mohammedreza Chiyaneh, Sunil Kumar, and Neeraj Kumar, will have to deal with a fierce attack from the duo of Pardeep Narwal and Surender Gill of U.P. Yoddhas to salvage something out of this match.

This surely is going to be a high-octane game. Who is going to get an upper hand and start this phase of the tournament with that W? Let’s find out! Taking you through all the live action will be me, Saikrishna MD. Get some snacks, find your spot to chill and enjoy the coverage.
