PKL 2019, Match 93: Jaipur Pink Panthers v UP Yoddha | Match preview, predictions and telecast details - Who will win today’s match?
UP Yoddha’s efforts of making their way into the top six will face some serious test from Jaipur Pink Panthers when the two teams face off in the 93rd fixture of Pro Kabaddi 2019 at the Sree Shiv Chhatrapati Shivaji Complex in Pune.
Jaipur and UP have earned an equal number of points and have had a similar kind of season so far. The Pink Panthers brought Sushil Gulia back into the starting 7 and he was magnificent in the last match.
He scored 8 points and received ample help from Nitin Rawal and Deepak Niwas Hooda. In case their starting raiders do not deliver, they also have good back-up options like Nilesh Salunke.
Star defender Sandeep Dhull picked up another High 5 and is currently the most successful defender this season with 55 points. His partners Ajinkya Pawar and Amit Hooda also chipped in with 3 points each.
Their overall performance was decent and they should back themselves to bounce back to winning ways.

Ashu Singh and Amit, who handle the cover positions of the team, have also been decent and UP’s defense can count on them to bring about a whole lot of points.
