FT: U.P. Yoddhas 31-40 Puneri Paltan

Puneri Paltan keep their winning streak intact as they comprehensively beat the Yoddhas by a 9-point margin. Fazel Atrachali stole the show in defense as he got seven tackle points, while Akash Shinde was the star in the raiding department with 15 points

UP Yoddhas fought back really well at the start of the second half as Surender Gill ran riot and got away with raid points at regular intervals. The Yoddhas' defense figured out a way to tackle Akash Shinde and eventually inflicted an all-out to reduce the deficit to just three points. But Fazel's defensive masterclass coupled with some stunning raids from Akash Shinde helped the Paltan to stay ahead in the contest. Puneri Paltan inflicted the second all-out in the 32nd minute and that also proved to be the final nail in the coffin

Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL match between UP Yoddhas and Puneri Paltan
 
Pardeep Narwal may not be the same player he once was but still, his dubki skills are second to none. He remains a vital cog along with Surender Gill in the raiding department, while the defense look rock solid too, with the experienced Nitish Kumar and Sumit in the corners

On the other hand, Puneri Paltan are on a red-hot streak at the moment, winning six matches in a row and a win against UP. Yoddhas would take them to top of the table. The raiders will once again be ready to treat the home fans, so the Yoddhas' defense have their task cut out in stopping Mohit Goyat & co
