PKL 8 2022 Playoffs Eliminator-1 Results And Score
UP Yoddha defeated Puneri Paltan 42-31 in the first eliminator of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 playoffs, with the help of Pardeep Narwal’s 18-point performance. Puneri Paltan’s Aslam Inamdar scored a Super 10, but the team lacked the raiding prowess to worry the in-form U.P. defence.
After falling behind by eight points in the first half, UP Yoddha produced an astonishing comeback to win the critical game. With the victory, UP Yoddha has advanced to the semi-finals. They will face league table-topper Patna Pirates on Wednesday.
Eliminator-2 Results
Bengaluru Bulls defeated Gujarat Giants 49-29 in the second eliminator match because to a strong team effort led by star raider Pawan Sehrawat. Bengaluru Bulls will face Dabang Delhi KC in the second semi-final on Wednesday.
Gujarat was outplayed in every department by the Bulls, with secondary raiders Bharat and Chandran Ranjit chipping in with points as well. Gujarat’s defence lacked its normal intensity and allowed an early advantage, which it struggled to overcome.
Bengaluru’s raiders dominated Gujarat’s defense and continued to widen the points gap. On the other hand, the Bulls’ defense continued to dominate, denying the Giants ease.
