The Gujarat Giants take on the UP Yoddha (GUJ vs UP) in Match 28 of Vivo Pro Kabaddi 2022 on Wednesday, October 19. The Shree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium in Bengaluru will host this contest.
The Giants will come into this match after losing 25-18 to the Jaipur Pink Panthers. They will be up against a UP Yoddha team which recorded a 44-37 victory over the Bengaluru Bulls in their last game.
In an extremely low-scoring and cagey affair against the Panthers, the Giants' raiders couldn't get them crucial points. This turned out to be the difference between the two sides. Star raider Rakesh could manage to score only two raid points and that's something he'll want to instantly rectify against UP.
Meanwhile, a return to form for Pardeep Narwal coincided with the Yoddhas outscoring the Bulls. Both Pardeep and Surender Gill were in great touch, scoring 14 raid points each, and they'll look to keep that run going.
