The second phase of Pro Kabaddi 2019's Greater Noida leg kicked off on Wednesday at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex as the Tamil Thalaivas played their final league match of the season against Bengal Warriors. The latter managed to win the match in spite of Maninder Singh's absence.
In the match played later, Telugu Titans ended their PKL 2019 campaign on a high with a win against the home franchise, UP Yoddha.
In the game between Bengal Warriors and Tamil Thalaivas, the corner defenders of both the teams, namely Rinku Narwal and Sagar, picked up High 5s as the raiders could not make an impact in this fixture.

Chaudhari scored 7 raid points in the game while Hegde and Nabibakhsh scored a combined total of 9 raid points. The Iranian all-rounder even contributed 4 tackle points to the team's score.
