Pro Kabaddi Playoffs LIVE: UP Yoddha, Bengaluru Bulls reach semifinals - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

10 minutes left

10 minutes left in the contest and the Puneri Paltan are now desperate. It is showing with some very rash advanced tackles. The pressure seems to have caught the dug out as well with coach Anup Kumar substituting captain Nitin Tomar for a young Akash Shinde, who is playing just his third PKL game.

The youngster has done well since coming in pocketing 3 points in 3 raids. This is already his best-ever PKL performance. 

Super 10, Aslam Inamdar!

He is fighting a lone battle tonight for Puneri Paltan is Aslam Inamdar. Neither has he found any support from his defender nor has his partner in crime Mohit Goyat managed to do anything so far.

ALL OUT, PUNERI PALTAN!

Aslam Inamdar yet again the last man standing for Paltan and he is taken down with relative ease. The Platans are shell-shocked. Will we see Nitin Tomar put raids now? 

SUPER RAID NUMBER 3!

That's number 3 for UP Yoddha and number 3 for Pardeep Narwal. This is not Yoddha versus Paltan anymore, this is Pardeep Narwal versus Paltan.

This must be the easiest three points he has ever earned in PKL. Cometh the hour, cometh the man!

UP Yoddha 30-20 Puneri Paltan

HALF TIME!

What a crazy period of 20 minutes. It all started with Aslam and Mohit running riot for the Paltans, but Pardeep Narwal soon turned it around in the Yoddhas' favour.

From leading 9-1 at one point, the Paltan now trails 17-25. They need some inspiration and they have just the right man in their dugout. Can Anup Kumar inspire his young brigade to a comeback? Or is the damage already done?

SUPER RAID, PARDEEEEP!

WHAT A PLAYERRRRR! Out comes the trademark Dubki and he returns with three touch point. He is turning back the clock is Pardeep Narwal. The young Paltans have been stunned as the veteran registers a Super 10!

ALL OUT, PUNERI PALTAN!

That yellow card has come to bite the Paltans back. Aslam is the final man on the mat with Hadi out, and he is taken down in a raid. SECOND ALL OUT!

SUPER TACKLE, VISHAL BHARADWAJ!

A stunning super tackle from Vishal Bharadwaj as he takes Surender Gill down with the help of Hadi Tajik. But, the Iranian is shown a yellow card for neck holding - SUSPENDED FOR 2 MINUTES.

Yoddha 18-16 Paltan

SUPER RAIDDDD, PARDEEEEEPPPP!

HE HAS DONE IT AGAIN, PARDEEP NARWAL HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!

This man is a beast when it comes to PKL playoffs and he is showing it again. An ankle hold attempt on the Dubki King and he not only manages to escape, but escapes with four more points.

The on mat umpires gave 3 points to the Yoddhas but the Paltan reviewed it and ended up losing 2 more men, trying to save three. WHAT DRAMA!

ALL OUT, PUNERI PALTAN!

UP Yoddha returns the favour. Much like the first all-out, this time too the team who were wiped out have managed just a solitary point compared to 9 or the opponent.

Scores level.
