MATCH REPORT| Titans shock Yoddha with comeback win, Warriors beat Thalaivas
Earlier in the day, the Bengal Warriors had piled up more misery on the Tamil Thalaivas, which lost 29-33 to the side from Kolkata in its final game of the season. Meanwhile, the home team UP also lost 36-41 to the Hyderabad-based team, which has finished 11th this edition.
Telugu Titans ends ProKabaddi League season seven with a wonderful comeback win. Siddharth Desai once again led from the front. UP Yoddha has itself to blame for this loss from a winning position.
