But Warriors came back strongly and equalised in the 12th minute of the first-half as the scoreline read 6-6. They inflicted an all-out on UP Yoddha in the 14th minute of the game and extended the lead to 11-7 and kept push Yoddha to the wall.

At half-time, Warriors led Yoddha 17-9. Bengal players started slowly but every player chipped in after the slow start and contributed as a unit in the first 15 minutes. Their captain Maninder Singh led from the front as he foxed UP defenders on the mat to grab two raid points on a couple of occasions.

UP Yoddha were all-out within a couple of minutes from the start of play in the second-half and Warriors led 22-10. Yoddha's defence and raiders both failed badly.

Warriors inflicted the third all-out on Yoddhas in the 28th minute of the match and took a massive 20 point lead as the scoreline read 33-13.



With the match slipping away from their grip, UP coach decided to substitute a completely new team on the mat to give some match practice to the players but that move too didn't pay off.

Yoddhas had a disastrous outing in their opening game as they were all-out for fourth time in 36 minutes and the scoreboard read 45-17. Iranian Nabibaksh had a dream debut as he completed his maiden Super 10 in the game. They'd have to go back to the drawing board and change their strategy.
