Prokabaddi 2018 : UP Yoddha to meet Gujarat Fortune Giants in qualifier 2

In a race for the 2nd finalist, for the ViVo Pro Kabaddi 2018
Gujarat Fortune Giants will meet UP Yoddha on 3rd of January 2019. At SVP stadium Mumbai. Both the team have played well in their league games, as Fortunegiants lost their first chance to make it to the finals with a 29-41 defeat to the Bengaluru Bulls in yesterday evening’s encounter.

They were undone by their poor defense, which otherwise had been the highlight of their campaign this season.

Their defense was indecisive and leaked points regularly to close the door on their win. Their captain, Sunil Kumar and top defender Parvesh Bhainswal, who had been the backbone of their defense, crumbled under pressure on the night and could manage just a single point between themselves, as the Fortunegiants ended up with just 6 tackle points.5

On the other hand UP Yoddha made a great effort in the last leg of the tournament with their win against the Haryana Steelers in Match 98 of the competition, which kick-started a resurgence of sorts and has led them to Qualifier 2, just one step away from making it to the finals.3

They have grown in confidence with every win, and their recent victory against Dabang Delhi is a prime example of how much growth the team has shown. Once heavily criticized for their poor defense and their inconsistent raiding, Yoddha scored 26 raid points and 10 tackle points on the night to prove a point to their detractors. They also beat out last three-time champion Patna Pirate.

“Bangalore Bulls have already made their way into the final, will meet the winner of these two team at the final on 5th of January 2019 ” 1
