Pune, Nov 11: Pardeep Narwal and Surender Gill once again showcased their superb raiding skills as U.P. Yoddhas registered a clinical win by 40-34 to hand Haryana Steelers their third consecutive defeat in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 9 on Friday (November 11) at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Balewadi in Pune.

Surender starred for the Yoddhas as he earned 11 points to help his team get the win, while Pardeep also scored crucial 8 points.

Pardeep started the match with a raid point for UP Yoddhas. But Manjeet earned two bonus points and Meetu earned a raid point of his own to put Steelers in the lead. Just when it looked like Haryana might take control of the match, Rohit Tomar earned two quick raid points to reduce gap between the two sides.

A minute later, Surender Gill earned a Super Raid and UP Yoddhas inflicted an All Out to take the lead. Jaideep brought Steelers back into the contest getting two quick tackle points, sending both Rohit Tomar and the dangerous Pardeep onto the bench. But Nitesh Kumar brought Meetu down with a Super Tackle to ensure UP stayed in the lead.

Surender then earned a three-point Super Raid late in the first half as Yoddhas went into halftime leading at 20-12.
