UP Yoddha is two steps away from PKL-8 playoffs, today will meet Gujarat Giants
Pro Kabaddi League Season 8, UP Yoddha vs Gujarat Giants: UP Yoddha will face Gujarat Giants in the 115th match of Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 at Sheraton Grand Whitefield in Bengaluru on Sunday. The Giants are ranked 9th in the points table with 7 wins out of 18 matches, although the team’s hopes of reaching the playoffs remain intact. The team winning the remaining four matches can make it to the playoffs.
On the other hand UP Yoddha is standing on the threshold of playoffs and just two wins will get the Yoddhas a ticket to the playoffs. UP has yet to play three matches this season and they have 57 points with 8 wins in 19 matches. This match will start at 9:30 pm, which you can watch live on Star Sports Networks and Hotstar.
Both the teams will land on the mat with the intention of winning
The best thing for UP is that both their raiders are in excellent form. While Surender Gill was handling the raiding department since the beginning of the season, Pardeep Narwal’s two consecutive Super 10s have doubled the strength of the warriors. Everyone knows that Pardeep Narwal is in form, so what can he do alone. On the other hand Sumit Sangwan and Ashu Singh along with Nitesh Kumar have done a great job in the defense and have constantly troubled the opposing raiders. For the warriors, Gurdeep and Sahil have also impressed in some matches.
Pardeep’s return to form before the playoffs is a matter of concern for all the teams. Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, have included themselves in the race for the playoffs by performing brilliantly in the second half, but just one defeat will end their journey. Although the team is in good form and team veteran Parvesh Bhainswal has returned to form. Girish Ernak and captain Sunil Kumar are also defending well, while HS Rakesh along with Ajay Kumar and Pardeep Kumar have impressed a lot.
what do the figures say
In the history of Pro Kabaddi League, only 6 matches have been played between UP Yoddha and Gujarat Giants, in which Gujarat Giants have won 3 matches, while UP Yoddhas have managed to taste victory only once. The two matches between these two teams have ended in a tie, so the score was the same in the last encounter as well.
