Full Time: That is the joint-worst losing streak in PKL by Titans. They have been hapless and without any answer to stop their downward spiral. Surender Gill was yet again at his pristine best with 13 points. Yoddhas go four games without defeat and enter the Top 6 on the points table. The less said about the Titans’ stats on the points table, the better.
30-41: Another point for Titans as Hanumanthu gets a tag on Gurdeep.
29-41: Hanumanthu gets another raid point for the Titans and then they bring down Tomar with a tackle. Two points for the trailing team.
27-41: Mahipal is brought down by the Titans defence by Parvesh.
26-41: A point for Titans Hanumanthu escapes from a tackle.

23-32: Adarsh is brought to the mat by the Yoddhas defence. Titans have just two men left on mat.
23-31: A do or die raid for Surender Gill and he is ushered out by Sumit. But the refs deem the raider is safe. A further deliberation goes in favour of Titans. Yoddhas review. The contention is regarding how Gill got his hand past the mid way line. The review is successful and that marks another point for Yoddhas.
23-30: A do or die raid for Titans. But, the Yoddhas pick a super tackle from that play.

15-21: Two more points off a super tackle by the Titans. Rohit Tomar is the raider sent out.
13-21: Desai’s stay on the mat is short lived as Sumit tackles him and sends him back to the bench.

11-20: Mohsen is out on a do or die raid and Ashu brings him down with a sweeping tackle.
11-19: Another piont for U.P. Yoddhas. Tomar gets a tag on Vishal and the game is taking an all too familiar course for the Titans.

PREVIEW
Telugu Titans
Telugu Titans has endured a difficult season having won just once and suffered 11 losses in Season 9. Siddharth Desai has been the lead raider for the Titans with 81 raid points. There has been a lack of support for Baahubali in offence though as Vinay (34 raid points) and Monu Goyat (31 raid points) haven’t managed to get themselves going on a consistent basis. Defensively, the likes of Vishal Bhardwaj (22 tackle points), Parvesh Bhainswal (19 tackle points) and Surjeet Singh (14 tackle points) will know that they can do much better.

UP Yoddhas
U.P. Yoddhas, on the other hand, will head into this match with a lot of confidence after winning last night. They will once again depend on their raiding duo of Surender Gill (118 raid points) and Pardeep Narwal (109 raid points) to do most of the work in attack although Rohit Tomar (31 raid points) has shown his raiding prowess in the last few games for them. On the defensive front, the trio of Ashu Singh, Sumit and Nitesh Kumar have been their top performers. While Ashu Singh managed 36 tackle points in Season 9, Sumit and Nitesh Kumar have scored 29 and 22 tackle points respectively.
