A humongous win for Bengal Warriors, led from the front by Mohammad Nabhibakhsh and Maninder Singh. UP Yoddha failed to even get a scratch on them after the opening two minutes where they took a 4-0 lead. But since then, it has been all Kolkata. What a win!

Two empty raids from both the sides. But Bengal Warriors get a point from a team tackle. Nabhibakhsh's excellent raid provides the third all-out for UP Yoddha. The game is all but over. U.P. Yoddha on the brink of suffering their heaviest defeat in PKL history.

After a brief break, UP Yoddhas look pumped up as they tackle Prapanjan down. They are trying their best to lessen the score difference. But to no avail, as Maninder inflicts pain on them again on his raid.

After a Nabhibakhsh raid, Prapanjan fails to deliver for the Warriors. But boy, do they have a lead. They have played like a bulldozer so far in Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. Maninder and Nabhibakhsh both have 7 raid points. 8 minutes left to play.

With Maninder Singh getting a point from his raid, Bengal Warriors now have 18 points from raids alone.

UP Yoddha are all-out for the third time! There is no catching the Warriors now.

After successful raids barring a Nabhibakhsh one, Bengal Warriors have built a healthy lead. With a team tackle towards the end, they gained another two points. After taking a four point lead in the start of the game, UP Yoddha have faltered afterwards. With 4 points, Maninder Singh is the top performer of the first half. More to play for in the second half. 

After getting a point in his previous raid, Monu Goyat comes back empty handed from the Bengal area. Then, Maninder Singh gets two points from a successful raid using his right leg.

After Maninder Singh got super-tackled, the decision was overturned as the defender committed a foul. One point to the Warriors, which is followed by an all-out for UP Yoddha.

After Monu Goyat is sent out in the do-or-die raid of the Yoddhas, Bengal continue their upswing. The raiding departments of both the sides have looked bleaked so far, as another raider of UP Yoddha gets tackled by the Warriors.

The Yoddhas are down three players now. Mohammad Nabhibaksh with another failed raid for Bengal., and then Bengal fail in their do-or-die raid after the Prapanjan gets tackled by Nitesh Kumar.
