U.p. Yoddhas Vs Bengal Warriors 28 November 2022

That's it from the coverage, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off

FT: Bengal Warriors 32-33 U.P. Yoddhas

It was a one-sided tussle throughout the contest but Maninder dragged the Warriors back after the second time out. His sensational five-point raid not only helped the Warriors to inflict an all-out but reduced the deficit to just three points.

The Yoddhas dominated the match until 35 minutes but their passive approach in the last five made this contest very interesting. But in the end, the better team won and Pardeep Narwal once again showed his class as he picked up 14 raid points 

Rohit Tomar takes the last raid of the match. All he has to do is touch the baulk line and go back to his side. He does and the Yoddhas win the thriller

Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL match between U.P Yoddhas and Bengal Warriors at the Gachibowli indoor stadium in Hyderabad

We have almost reached the business end of the league phase. A win for the Yoddhas would see them leap to the third position in the table but that would be only for a short period as Jaipur Pink Panthers would face the under-performing Telugu Titans

The Warriors have been blowing hot and cold so far as they prove to be one of the most unpredictable teams in the tournament. A win tonight would keep them in the hunt for the top 6 spots but they enter this contest as an underdog.
