Preview
In-form UP Yoddha will take the mat against Haryana Steelers in the first match of the Sunday evening in the ongoing Pro Kabaddi League Season 8. Yoddha are coming on the back of an incredible win against Bengal Warriors thanks to another resolute performance from their defense. But Haryana Steelers are looking in good rhythm after beating the mighty Dabang Delhi in their last encounter.
The second game of the night will feature Gujarat Giants and Bengaluru Bulls. The Bulls will be looking to bounce back from an unlucky loss against the Warriors while Gujarat are high on confidence after a close win against Tamil Thalaivas. Both the matches will be held at the Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, Bengaluru.
UP Yoddha have rode on their defense but with Pardeep Narwal back in form, they will feel more strong. Surender Gill has been excellent for UP throughout season 8 but Pardeep's form will further strengthen their attack and will make it a double-headed attack targeting both sides of the mat.
Meanwhile, later in the evening, 'High-Flyer' Pawan Sehrwat will be in action and everyone knows how it goes when he is on the mat. He hurts his opponents from both sides and Gujarat are well aware of that. Their coach Manpreet Singh certainly loves a challenge and will be hoping to inspire his star-packed defense to do what most teams have failed in this tournament. Girish Ernak's presence in the left corner will be crucial to their chances.
