PKL 9 Day 48 Live Updates: UP Yoddhas vs U Mumba

UP Yoddhas vs U Mumba

U Mumba lost the last encounter against Haryana Steelers (33-35) thereby moving out of the playoff spots and are placed in 7th place in the PKL 9 table. The western side has lost four of the last five encounters and has lost momentum in the fag end of the league stages. A win against UP Yoddhas will again move them in into the playoffs spot.

UP Yoddhas on the other hand has picked up momentum at the right time in the absence of the star raider Surender Gill. Pardeep Narwal has led the troops pretty well and a win against U Mumba will make them go above Bengaluru Bulls to the 3rd spot. 

Head to Head

UP Yoddhas and U Mumba have faced each other nine times in the Pro Kabaddi League out of which, UP Yoddhas have won four matches and Bengal Warriors has come out victorious on four occasions with one match ending in a tie.

Player to watch

Surender Singh the captain of U Mumba is expected to be back after a long break due to injury. The commentators in the previous match have confirmed that Surender Singh has begun training with the team and if he takes an active part then the defence shall get a major boost. Ashish along with Guman can play effectively as a raider throughout the match.

The corner duo of Sumit and Nitesh have started to show glimpses of their form and have also started to involve in combination tackles. Guman Singh in the raiding department will be their only major threat and if the combo succeeds in tackling the raider then UP will have the huge advantage of winning the encounter.
