Pro Kabaddi League: Pardeep Narwal stars in UP Yoddhas win over Haryana Steelers; U Mumba edge Puneri Paltan

Pune: UP Yoddhas handed Haryana Steelers their third consecutive defeat in Pro Kabaddi League as they registered a comprehensive 40-34 victory in Pune on Friday. In the evening’s other two games, U Mumba edged Puneri Paltan 34-33 in the Maharashtra Derby, while Patna Pirates got the better of Jaipur Pink Panthers in a 37-30 victory. Back to the first game, Surender Gill starred for the Yoddhas as he earned 11 points to help his team get the win, while Pardeep Narwal also scored crucial eight points. Pardeep started the match with a raid point for UP Yoddhas. But Manjeet earned two bonus points and Meetu earned a raid point of his own to put Steelers in the lead. Just when it looked like Haryana might take control of the match, Rohit Tomar earned two quick raid points to reduce gap between the two sides. A minute later, Surender Gill earned a SUPER RAID and UP Yoddhas inflicted an ALL OUT to take the lead. Jaideep brought Steelers back into the contest getting two quick tackle points, sending both Rohit Tomar and the dangerous Pardeep onto the bench. But Nitesh Kumar brought Meetu down with a SUPER TACKLE to ensure UP stayed in the lead. Surender earned a three-point SUPER RAID late in the first half as Yoddhas went into half time leading at 20-12.
