Thank you for joining in for our coverage from Day number 19 of PKL 2021. That's all we have for the night. Two convincing victories for the struggling Puneri Paltan and UP Yoddhas and they shoot up the points table.
Scores:
Puneri Paltan 39-27 Bengal Warriors
Bengaluru Bulls 27-42 UP Yoddha
A big, big victory this for UP Yoddha, thanks to a stunning show from their defensive unit. On the other hand, just the second loss for the Bulls in this season despite Bharath's Super 10.
Yoddhas move into the top six with this win.
SIXTH OF THE NIGHTTTT AND THIS TIME THE YODDHA DEFENCE TAKES DOWN BHARATH, WHO HAS JUST COMPLETED HIS SUPER 10.
Bulls 25-38 Yoddha
Fifth SUPER TACKLE of the night by UP Yoddha and this has been the third time they have sent Pawan Sehrawat out for a two-pointer from the defence.
5 minutes left and this is UP's game to lose now.
That super raid had reduced Yoddha to three men and their skipper Nitesh takes down Bharath in a Super Tackle. Fourth super tackle of the night for Yoddhas.
First super raid of the night and it has come via the young BHARATTTT. Wonderful escape to return with three touch points. Is this the start of a comeback?
Bulls 23-32 Yoddha
10 minutes left in the contest and UP Yoddha have a nine-point lead. They have managed to keep Pawan Sehrawat really quiet and that has helped him.
However, there are no signs of Pardeep Narwal returning after he was subbed off early in the first half after two failed raids
.
That did not take long. Bulls have been wiped out right at the start of the second half.
Bulls down to their final man. Surender Gill immediately goes for a raid, but the hooter stops him. He has to wait. UP Yoddha have to wait to inflict that all-out. But, what a stunning comeback this has been from the UP boys.
They were down in the dumps after being reduced to two men, but then they produced three magical super tackles to take the lead and leave the Bulls reeling.
Oh, HOW THE TABLES TURN!
UP Yoddha in the driver's seat now. They have come from the brink of an all-out to leave the Bulls staring at one.
