Watch Jaipur Pink Panthers vs UP Yoddhas PKL 2025 Highlights
Jaipur Pink Panthers produced a clinical performance to outclass UP Yoddhas in their PKL Season 12 encounter, sealing a comprehensive win in Friday’s final match.
From start to finish, the two-time champion dominated proceedings, with Nitin Kumar and Ali Samadi leading the charge. Both raiders notched Super 10s, repeatedly breaching the Yoddhas’ defence through sharp, well-timed raids.
At the other end, Jaipur’s defensive unit, marshalled by Reza Mirbagheri and Aryan Kumar, maintained composure and discipline to keep UP’s key attackers — Guman Singh and Surender Gill — largely quiet. The Yoddhas struggled to find any momentum against a well-organised Panthers lineup.
The victory helped Jaipur Pink Panthers snap its losing streak and climb to seventh place on the points table, while UP Yoddhas slipped to 10th.
