TEAMS PREVIEW

Kanpur Warriors Preview

The Kanpur Warriors fought a gritty battle but ultimately fell short against the Sangam Challengers, losing 32-37. In a rare statistical twist, the Warriors actually outscored the winners in raid points (18-17), led by a strong performance from Sushant Chaudhary. Sushant was the team’s top scorer with 8 points, which included a crucial Super Raid that kept the game competitive.

The Warriors' defense also showed flashes of brilliance, executing an impressive five Super Tackles. However, they struggled with consistency, conceding 4 All Out points while failing to inflict any on the Challengers. 

Despite steady contributions from Raghav Salaklan and defensive efforts from Vivek and Shubham Kumar, the team's high number of unsuccessful tackles allowed the lead to slip away in the final minutes.

Purvanchal Panthers Preview

The Purvanchal Panthers faced a tough defeat against Ganga King of Mirzapur, finishing with a score of 33-44. Despite the loss, the Panthers' raiding department performed well, outscoring their opponents in raid points (25-22).

Bhanu Pratap Tomar led the charge as the standout raider, securing a solid 10 points, including 8 touch points and 2 bonuses. He was supported by Lalit Chaudhary and Hritik Rathi, who contributed 8 and 7 points respectively. However, the Panthers struggled significantly in defense. Their backline lacked coordination, managing only 8 tackle points compared to Mirzapur’s 13.

The turning point was the All Out; the Panthers were wiped out twice, conceding 4 points, while failing to inflict any All Outs on their rivals. This defensive gap and the inability to stop Mirzapur’s key attackers ultimately cost them the match.
