Noida, January 9

The final day of the Do-or-Die Week in the Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League Season 2 began with a dominant performance from Awadh Ramdoots, who defeated Purvanchal Panthers 47-33 at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Friday.

With both teams already out of the top-four race, the contest was about pride, momentum, and finishing the league stage on a strong note.

The match began cautiously, with both sides testing each other in the opening minutes. Awadh Ramdoots gradually found their rhythm through captain Abhimanyu Raghuvanshi, who consistently troubled the Purvanchal defence with sharp raids. At the other end, Awadh's defensive unit stepped up with equal authority, producing timely tackles that restricted Purvanchal's scoring opportunities, as per a press release.

The turning point of the first half came when Awadh Ramdoots tightened their defensive formation and inflicted an all-out on Purvanchal Panthers, opening up a sizeable gap on the scoreboard. Building on that momentum, Awadh continued to apply pressure and forced another all-out before halftime, stretching their advantage to 20 points and taking firm control of the contest.

Purvanchal Panthers showed greater intent after the break and managed to inflict an all-out on Awadh Ramdoots in the second half, briefly raising hopes of a comeback. However, the early damage proved too much to undo. Awadh responded calmly, managing the tempo of the game and ensuring Purvanchal were unable to mount any sustained pressure.

With their raiders continuing to score consistently and the defence holding firm in key moments, Awadh Ramdoots comfortably closed out the match with a 47-33 victory, signing off their league campaign with an emphatic performance.

The Day 16 action continued with matches between Ganga Kings of Mirzapur and Sangam Challengers, Lucknow Lions and Gazab Ghaziabad, and Aligarh Tigers and Brij Stars.

Respect to both teams for playing with pride when the knockout spot was gone. That's the spirit of sport. But honestly, the league needs to find a way to keep these "dead rubbers" more engaging for fans in the stadium. Just a thought.

Defence wins matches! The article clearly points out how Awadh's defensive unit stepped up. Those timely tackles are what broke Purvanchal's back. A 20-point lead at halftime in kabaddi is massive. Great game management in the second half too.

As a kabaddi fan from Tamil Nadu, it's heartening to see state leagues thriving. UP has such a rich pool of talent. Hope the players from these teams get picked for the Pro Kabaddi League auctions. More power to our desi sports!
