Full time: UP Yoddhas 27 - 46 Tamil Thalaivas

Tamil Thalaivas dominated proceedings right from their first raid as they managed to keep the Yoddhas under check, getting them all out thrice throughout the game. Their defence complemented their raiding department really well throughout the match and managed to get double the points whenever they conceded a single one.

Yoddhas had a substandard game overall and they will be looking to comeback stronger in their next game, recovering from their drubbing in this game. Pardeep Narwal will have to introspect as he had an off day. Vijay Malik did well to get a super 10, but that wasn't enough for the UP-based outfit.

UP Yoddhas are slowly but surely crawling back into the contest. They had a very sub-ordinary start, trailing by 5 points, but since then have managed to string a comeback of sorts. Currently, the deficit between the two sides stands at 8 points.

UP Yoddhas will want more from their raiders. So far, Dubki King Pardeep Narwal has managed to get only a couple of points out of the 8 raids he has had so far. Vijay Malik is the highest point scorer for them and he will want more support from his other raiders.

Tamil Thalaivas have upped their defence by more than a notch and will be looking to carry a similar sort of momentum into the second half.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League, 2023. Match number 65 of the league stages will see UP Yoddhas and the Tamil Thalaivas go head-up against each other live from the Dome @ NSCI, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Worli.

It is the last day of the Mumbai Leg and the day will be starting off with a cracking contest between the two sides who wil be looking to crawl their way upward in the points table.

UP Yoddhas' tournament has been a struggle so far, with the Uttar Pradesh-based side managing to win only 3 out of the 11 games they have contested so far in the tournament. Their last 5 games haven't gone according to plan as they have only managed to win a solitary game and lost the remaining cotests. Their last game against Puneri Paltan didn't end in their favour as they ended up losing to the table toppers. Dubki King Pradeep Narwal will be looking to pick up his side's confidence and motivate them to do well to help them progress and have a shot at the playoff spot.

Their opponents, Tamil Thalaiavas, have a similar sorry tale to tell. In the 10 games they have played so far, they have managed to eke out 2 wins, with the other 8 games resulting in losses for them. Their recent form does not do much help to them as they have lost 5 games in the trot, with their most recent loss coming against Puneri Paltan in a tightly contest match.

UP Yoddhas are currently 10th on the points table and the Thalaivas are just a position below them. Will the Yoddhas fight back and register a win or will the Thalaivas break their losing streak and propel themselves closer to the top half of the table? Join me, Lavil Saldanha, as I take you through the contest. Stay tuned for the toss and teams.
