For the Yoddhas, Surender Singh was the highest scorer with five points, while star player Rajesh Narwal got three.

Bengal’s all-round supremacy won the day for them against the UP team, which had outclassed U Mumba on Saturday.

Bengal Warriors were on the attack from the word go against a formidable rival, who had been unbeaten till date. After falling behind by a big margin at the end of the first half, the Yoddhas mounted a fightback in the second with Narwal doing some good work.

However, the margin proved too huge for the Yoddhas, and the Warriors also ensured that they didn't get complacent and held firm for a creditable victory. Maninder Singh was one of the stars for the Warriors as the team took a stranglehold of the proceedings, even as the Yoddhas were left wondering what hit them.
