Right then, that brings an end to what has been an absolute humiliation of the Giants. Join us back for a couple of more action-packed encounters tomorrow as we near the end of the league stage. Until tomorrow then, this is me, Maanas Upadhyay, bidding you adieu!

FULL TIME! At the end of Turn 4: Telugu Yoddhas 88-21 Gujarat Giants

No, you have not read it wrong. That is indeed the score at full time! The Giants have finished with 21 points, which might seem less for a single turn otherwise in any other game. The points consisted of four in defense and just seventeen in attack. And as for the Yoddhas, they have managed to set multiple records en route this absolute massacre, with as many as 26 defense points, which included that record-breaking 16-point Dream Run from Avdhut Patil. That experimental side did not work out very well in the end for the Giants as they crash to a 67-point loss! Dear oh dear, nothing to write home about for their young and inexperienced side. The Yoddhas, on the other hand, have certainly gained some momentum now after a flurry of losses!

7' DREAM RUN! The batch time has crossed the two and a half minute mark! Yet another Dream Run!

6' A running touch from Debendra Nath on Rohan Shingade as the latter runs out of steam after being pursued relentlessly. He has done his job certainly!

6' An attacker review is taken as a dive was put in near the cross lane to dismiss one of the defenders. However, the attacker had planted his foot to the left of the cross lane before changing directions and going to his right before putting in the dive. The on-field decision persists and the defender will remain NOT OUT!

Batch 4 of the Yoddhas is on court now!

5' Evades the defenders but ends up surrendering. It is adjudged as a SELF OUT! But not before V Subramani has done his job!

Telugu Yoddhas 86-19 Gujarat Giants

4' A 4-point Dream Run is garnered by the Yoddhas and he has converted that into a 6-point Dream Run! Looking good for an eight-point dream run too! And well, he's gotten it! EIGHT POINT DREAM RUN! They are just putting in Dream Runs for fun!

Telugu Yoddhas 86-16 Gujarat Giants

3' Gets followed in the cross lane and Saleem Khan dismisses Sachin Bhargo with a running touch.

Telugu Yoddhas 78-14 Gujarat Giants

Batch 1 of the Yoddhas is on the court now and we are underway with Turn 4!

At the end of Turn 3: Telugu Yoddhas 78-12 Gujarat Giants

Plenty to cheer for for the Yoddhas although it was not that dominant a performance in this game. The Giants, on the other hand, put in a much better showing while defending this time around, garnering a four-point Dream Run and preventing an all-out. However, they are staring at a massive loss here and will be looking to get some points in the attacking department as well.

7' Just seconds before the buzzer rings, Pratik Waikar puts in a sky dive near the pole and it is Debendra Nath who was dismissed.

5' DREAM RUN! They have crossed the two and a half minute mark there and the Giants garner a couple of points.

5' Just seconds before the defense bonus is granted, the Wazir has gotten a touch on one of the defenders, which has not been given. The Yoddhas have reviewed it and it is unsuccessful as Prasad's first step was behind the central lane in the direction in which he was running!

4' Tries to change directions against a Wazir but it is to no avail as Sachin Bhargo follows him and sends back Govind Bhat.

HALF TIME! At the end of Turn 2: Telugu Yoddhas 53-8 Gujarat Giants

Would you look at that? 8 points to the Giants and 16 for the Yoddhas in a Turn where the Yoddhas were defending! All courtesy of their first batch which lasted over six minutes! What has transpired there? Turning out to be quite a one-sided contest this and just formalities remain in the second innings. The Yoddhas can certainly aim for the 100-point mark in this game, which will be a UKK record! The biggest first innings lead for any side in UKK!

7' A sky dive from Chinmoy Nandi while Prajwal KH was looking to cross the central lane has been adjudged to be out. Well, he has reviewed it straightaway and the review is successful! NOT OUT as the Wazir's follow-through saw him hurl himself into the central lane.

Batch 1 of the Yoddhas is on the court and they have less than a minute to survive. And the Giants have opted for the Power Play!

6' A review is taken by the Giants as the Wazir put in a dive to get in a touch. The touch was executed but the Wazir's hand crossed the central lane in the follow-through!

5' Pratik Waikar runs out of gas and finally has to depart as he is tagged in the cross lane by Dhiraj Bhave.

4' SIX POINT DREAM RUN! Pratik Waikar continues evading the attackers! AND THAT HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO AN 8-POINT DREAM RUN!

Batch 3 of the Yoddhas have been sent in first up as Turn 2 gets underway!

At the end of Turn 1: Telugu Yoddhas 37-0 Gujarat Giants

Terrific from the Yoddhas and they have completely demolished the young team that the Giants have opted to play today. They have a massive, massive 37 points lead going into Turn 2 and they will be looking to increase it with a few Dream Runs as well. Can turn out to be quite a one-sided contest should the Giants not attack well.

7' Just at the stroke of the buzzer, it is Mareppa, who goes into the lobby in a bid to evade the attacker, gifting three points to the Yoddhas!

Batch 1 of the Giants is back onto the mat and now with around thirty seconds left on the clock.

Batch 4 of the Giants is on the mat and they will need to survive the entire remaining duration if they are to avoid the Full On Chase!

5' A pole dive from Pratik Waikar and Praful is just found to be a touch resistant as he has to walk back to the bench. Yoddhas sniffing an all-out here surely!

Telugu Yoddhas 24-0 Gujarat Giants

4' Marquee player Pratik Waikar sends back Rutish Barde with a sky dive and a Prajwal KH puts in a dive, which is not enough to qualify as a sky dive, to get the better of Ajay Mandra after following him in the central lane.

Batch 3 of the Giants have made their entry. How many more points can the Yoddhas garner here?
