A victory for Pune would give them the chance to top the table.
In the 131st game of Pro Kabaddi League season 10 on February 21 at the Tau Devi Lal HUDA Sports Complex, Puneri Paltan will square off against the UP Yoddhas.
This will be the Puneri Paltan’s 22nd competition match; with 16 wins and just 2 losses, they occupy a comfortable second-place position in the points table. Without a doubt, they’ll go to the elimination rounds. They easily defeated the Haryana Steelers in their most recent game.
