The Yoddha raiders were on fire tonight against the Paltan side as both Surinder Gill and Pardeep Narwal bagged super ten’s at the end of the final whistle.

Mohit Goyat supported Aslam throughout the game as the raider racked up a super ten, scoring thirteen points for his side, including two tackle points. Other than Aslam and Mohit, none of the Puneri Paltan players were able to impress with their performance tonight and Coach, Anup Kumar will have to think about if Puneri Paltan wishes to stay alive in the race for the playoffs.
The game started with very fast-paced action as raiders from both sides focused on scoring as much as they could for their side. Pardeep lit up the fuse with a super raid in the first five minutes of the game, but Puneri Paltan was quick enough to come back as they dealt the first all-out of the game on the Yoddhas in the final ten minutes of the first half.
The UP-based club did not take much longer to make a comeback as Surjeet Singh’s super raid turned the game in the favor of the Yoddha’s. After inflicting the first all-out on Puneri Paltan, the UP Yoddha side maintained their lead throughout the game until the final whistle.
