UP Yoddha's all-round performance proved to be too lethal for Tamil Thalaivas.

Until then, this is Shivansh Gupta bidding you all good night. CIAO!

See you all tomorrow at 7pm for two exciting encounters. U Mumba vs Gujarat followed by  Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Bengal Warriors. Another raid-fest on its way? Well, tune in tomorrow to find out.

That's all we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us on a double-header night.

UP Yoddha's clinical all-round show was too lethal for Tamil Thalaivas in the end as the Thalaivas becomes the first team to crash out of the competition.

Jaipur Pink Panthers will take a tie for starters. Gujarat Fortunegiants, however, could have and should have won it.

Full-time: UP YODDHA COMPLETES A COMPREHENSIVE VICTORY AND TAMIL THALAIVAS HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT THE LEAGUE! UP Yoddha climbs to the fourth place.

42-22: Last raid of the match coming up. Ajith Kumar is in to raid and he runs right into Gurdeep's laps. AND THAT'S THAT!

41-22: Devadiga is dashed out by M. Abhishek.

41-21: Ajith Kumar comes in to raid and Ashu Singh gifts a point to Ajith.

41-20: Do-or-die raid for UP and the raider prevails. UP challenges the call that he should get two points. The replays show the raider was out of bound before getting his hand past the mid-line. REVIEW UNSUCCESSFUL AND ONE POINT TO TAMIL.

LAST TWO MINUTES TO GO!

40-19: HIGH-5 FOR SUMIT AND HE HAS RICHLY DESERVED IT! BE IT TACKLE OR ASSIST, SUMIT HAS BEEN THE BEST DEFENDER ON THE MAT TODAY BY FAR! Chaudhari goes to the left corner and attempts a toe touch off Sumit, but is slow on the turn and and is brought down by Sumit's ankle hold.

39-19: The lead double the point Tamil has scored. Devadiga with a running hand touch on V Ajith Kumar. n the next raid, he gets a bonus point.

37-19: BONUS PLUS ONE FOR JADHAV! Vineet Sharma puts his body weight on the raider in an attempt to push him out, but fails to do so on time. Jadhav scores his eight point with ease in the end. 

35-18: ALL-OUT! THIRD ONE CHENNAI BY UP! VINEET SHARMA IS SUBBED IN FOR MANJEET CHHILLAR FOR THE RAID AND HE IS TACKLED BY A BRILLIANT DIVING THIGH HOLD BY NITESH KUMAR IN THE LEFT CORNER! Vineet does get the bonus though.

32-17: Gill reduces opposition to one man. He gets Chhillar.

31-17: Do-or-die raid for Thalaivas and the raider, Yashwant Binoi is first held up by Sumit's ankle hold and then pushed off the mat by the right cover. Thaliavas down to two men.

30-17: ABSOLUTE CARANAGE! Do-or-die raid for UP and this is just easy pickings. Surender Gill goes for a dummy hand touch on the left corner with his right hand and suddenly sticks his left hand out and gets a touch off Abhishek. WELL DONE!

29-17: Ajith Kumar has blown cold today, but you can't blame him. Can't always expect one man to carry his team all by himself every single match. Coming to the raid, raider Surender Gill takes a blow to his head, but manages to hold Ajith back.

28-17: Rahul Chaudhari with yet another unsuccessful raid . SUMIT WITH A GREAT RUN FROM THE LEFT CORNER AND HE RACES TO THE RIGHT FLANK WITH A BLOCK! Receives great support from the right cover.

26-16: ALL-OUT! UP IS RUNNING AWAY WITH THE GAME NOW! Last man for Thalaivas in to raid is Ran Singh. He gets the bonus before being ushered off by Amit.

22-15: AS EASY AS IT GETS! Anand of Thaliavas literally stood still the moment Sumit put in the ankle hold.

21-15: From trailing by five points to now leading by 6, UP Yoddha has truly come alive after Jadhav's super-raid. This time, Shabeer Bappu falls prey to Surender Gill's running hand touch.

20-15: V. Ajith Kumar is feeling the heat too. He gets a touch off the centre defender and pushes off his chest to dive back. But Amit is up to the task and blocks hom successfully.

18-15: CORNER-COVER COMBINATION AND UP SENDS CHAUDHARI BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT! Sumit with an ankle hold that slowed Rahul down before Ashu Singh and Amit come with the support.

17-15: Rishank Devadiga gets a bonus in the left corner.

16-15: All 14 men on the mat now.

16-15: ALL-OUT!  Manjeet Chhillar is the last man on the mat for Tamil. He is in to raid. He gets the bonus and looking for running kick touch BUT RUNS OUT OF TIME! A NOTHING RAID THERE, REALLY!

 

Until Jadhav's moment of brilliance, UP had only racked up a meagre three raid points. However, the tally looks much better now. Thalaivas will begin the second half with just one man on the mat and it will be do-or-die raid.

HALF-TIME! MIGHTY SUPER RAID FROM SHRIKANT JADHAV GETS UP YODDHA RIGHT BACK INTO THE GAME AT THE BRING OF HALF-TIME! What an absolute mighty raid and UP is on the verge of bundling Tamil out.

9-14: Do-or-die raid for Chaudhari and he gets a running hand touch off Nitesh Kumar. Both men swore to the mat, with the latter claiming no touch. Chaudhari goes back his half and says take the reviews if you are so confident. But UP Yoddha decides against it and respect the umpire's decision.

9-13: Do-or-die raid for UP and well done Surender Gill. Shabeer Bappu comes to close to comfort and leaves his body hanging forward. Gill obliges, gets a touch and then dives back to safety.

8-13: Chaudhari, who hasn't visited the bench yet and has scored four points so far, is in to raid. He goes to his right, then to his left. Then rushes right and finally goes back empty-handed.

8-13: Ajith Kumar is dashed out. THALAIVAS CHALLENGE THE CALL CLAIMING OUT THREE DEFENDERS ARE ALSO OUT OF BOUNDS! The umpires come together to check whether UP defenders, who dashed him out, went out of bounds before Kumar even got a touch. Replay shows that Amit's right hand got a touch off Ajith's right hand while the raider was still in-bounds. HENCE, THE REVIEW IS UNSUCCESSFUL AND ONE POINT TO UP YODDHA!

7-13: Mohit Chhillar tries an advanced diving ankle hold on Devadiga and the latter emerges on top, courtesy his postioning. The raider was very close to the mid-line, so it was easy for him to get back safety.

6-13: Do-or-die raid and once again, the point goes towards Tamil Thaliavas' way. Ran Singh with an excellent back hold on Surender Gill, who was blindsided there.

6-12: Do-or-die raid for Tamil. V. Ajith Kumar doesn't disappoint. He lures left corner, Sumit into the tackle. Sumit brings him down, but then uses his shoulders to drag himself back to safety.

5-6: Do-or-die raid for UP and Shrikant Jadhav comes back with a bonus point. He opens his account.

4-6: SUPER-TACKLE ON V. AJITH KUMAR BY ASHU SINGH. It was the timing of tackle that was key. Nitesh Kumar assists after Ashu Singh puts in a diving ankle hold on the raider. 2 on 1 and the former triumphs.

2-6: Do-or-die raid UP and MOHIT CHHILLAR WITH A BRILLIANT WAIST HOLD ON RISHANK.

2-5: Do-or-die raid for Thalaivas. Rahul Chaudhari delivers. He gets Amit in the left corner and dives back to safety. He looked like going for Ashu Singh, but Amit falls prey.

2-4: Thaliavas' yesterday hero, V. Ajith Kumar goes back without a point.

2-4: Surender Gill is tackled by Abhishek after the raider got a bonus point.

1-3: V Ajith Kumar comes in and he is off the mark straight away. Sumit is the man who has to go back to the bench.

1-2: Shrikant Jadhav with the second raid for UP after Rishank Devadiga got us started with an empty raid. He goes right before the defender, Abhishek comes in with the dash. Jadhav, while on his way out, gets his hand past the mid-line. The umpires award a point to Shrikant Jadhav. Thalaivas review the call claiming the raider stepped out of bound before getting a touch. The reply shows his left foot was out of bounds. REVIEW IS SUCCESSFUL AND THALAIVAS RETAINS ITS REVIEW. So, one point each for both teams .

0-1: Rahul Chaudhari with the first raid of the match and he fetches a bonus point.

TOSS: Tamil wins the toss and UP will raid first.
