Dabang Delhi K.c. Vs Gujarat Giants 20 November 2024

Full time: Dabang Delhi 39-39 Gujarat Giants

WHAT. A. GAME! Hold your breaths, ladies and gentlemen, this has been a fantastic contest between the two teams with both teams wanting it more than the other. Delhi wanted a win to move up the table but will be content with a tie. Gujarat wanted to move from the bottom half and will be content with the three points from this contest.

It looked like it was all done for Gujarat and it was going to be a long night for them, with the score reading 10-2 six minutes into the contest. Later, Parteek Dahiya stepped onto the mat and chipped in with 20 raid points in the contest. The Gujarat attacking unit should thank him collectively for such a superlative effort and for carrying them to a tie.

Dabang Delhi will be disappointed as they left a match in their grasp slip away. Ashu Malik got a Super 10 and Naveen Kumar, on his comeback, was only one point short of the Super 10 landmark. Sandeep, Yogesh and  Ashish Malik chipped in with three points each in defence but will be a bit disappointed giving a few points away.

40' Naveen gets two points, with a bonus and the rapid touch off Mohit. Naveen gets a bonus and adds another one and the deficit is now down to one point.

Ashish has a clutch tackle, holds Parteek by his calf and gets a SUPER TACKLE! Dabang Delhi have a one-point lead now! Himanshu Singh puts in a raid and Ashish Malik errs with the tackle, conceding a point! Ashu Malik with the last raid of the game, looks to steal a bonus and he is successful but is tackled. THE GAME ENDS IN A TIE!

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 11. Match 65 of the league stages will be played between Dabang Delhi KC and Gujarat Giants

Both teams are on the lookout for five points in this game and will want to ensure that they are able to climb to the upper half of the table. 

Dabang Delhi KC will be eyeing for their sixth win this season, which sees them move up in the points table. So far, with five wins and five losses they sit sixth in the points table, a position some previous champions would avoid being at with the risk it brings about. They will want to win this game and ensure they move upward in the points table to strengthen their hopes of a playoff appearance.

On the other end are Gujarat Giants, who seemed to have hit a low altogether that failed them to help them get up. Currently seated dead last in the points table, they have only two wins to their name, along with 10 losses. Coach Ram Meher Singh will have some hard words of advice to give and will hope that starting today, his side able to script a comeback for ages.

Will Delhi get the win today or Gujarat get it, kick off a run of wins that helps them rise from the misery? Join me, Lavil, as I take you through the contest. Teams in a bit
