UP YODDHAS WINNNN!
Surprise, surprise....UP YODDHAS ARE THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!
The result was a foregone conclusion more than 20 minutes ago and the Jaipur Pink Panthers just wanted to end this agony as quickly as possible.
Never did the Yoddhas looked in trouble over the course of the 40 minutes and they can continue to harbor their dreams of a first-ever Pro Kabaddi title.

35' - Jaipur, ALL OUT!
Same old, same old.
The Pink Panthers are yet to figure out how to score points. This is just sad at this point. The remaining five minutes would really haunt the Panthers.
Jaipur 13-42 UP

31' - SUPER TACKLE, REZA!
The Jaipur Pink Panthers are down to two men and Reza Mirbagheri comes out with a brilliant block for a super tackle. Finally something going their way for the two-time champions.
Jaipur 13-37 UP

30' - All too easy for UP Yoddhas
UP Yoddhas relying on do-or-die raids when it comes to attack and they keep getting points on those without having to break a sweat. Tells a lot about how poor the Pink Panthers defense has been.
Meanwhile, the Pink Panthers' raiders have had no such respite with a water tight defence from the Yoddhas. A 26-point lead as we take the second time out.
Jaipur 11-37 UP

26' - Jaipur, ALL OUT!
All out No 3 for UP YODDHAS!
The Jaipur Pink Panthers have been just blown away. Honestly do not see a way back for them here. UP might have already sealed the semi-final spot with over 14 minutes still left.
Jaipur 11-32 UP
