Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s coverage of the UP Yoddhas vs Gujarat Giants game.
The scores will read as UP-Gujarat:
FULL-TIME UPDATE: UP Yoddhas beat Gujarat Giants 35-31.
35-31 Parteek Dahiya goes in the last raid of the game, and he will have to clean up the three-man defence to salvage a win from here but not today as Gurdeep comes in to tackle him with the help of Pardeep and Rohit to seal the deal for UP! Uff, what a game, what a day this has been!
33-31 Rohit Tomar in the raid, which potentially will be the last one, and Gujarat desperately pounces on him and gave two points to him with 8 seconds left. Practically curtains for the Giants. The refs have changed their verdict and only one point to Rohit with 8 seconds left in the game.

43 seconds left

TIME-OUT!
28-27 Gujarat tamed the beast as Pardeep runs straight into Gurdeep and others join him to tackle him.
