A rampant UP Yoddha inflicted a 45-16 thrashing on Dabang Delhi in the Inter Zone Challenge Week match of Pro Kabaddi Season 5 here today.
It was Delhi's seventh straight loss as they remained winless on their home turf.
Nitin Tomar scored 15 raid points for UP Yoddha and Sagar Krishna got a high five in the defence. Rohit Balliyan scored seven points for Dabang Delhi.
UP Yoddha are third in Zone B with 48 points after 17 matches while Dabang Delhi's wretched form continued as they remain at the bottom of the table in Zone A with 31 points from 17 matches.
Rohit Balliyan opened Dabang Delhi's account with a raid point in the third minute.
UP Yoddha scored a tackle point in the fourth minute and Nitin Tomar scored two points as they led 4-1. UP Yoddha made it 6-2 in the eight minute as they capitalized on Dabang Delhi's defensive errors.
Abol Fazl got a raid point in the ninth minute as Dabang Delhi trailed 3-7. UP Yoddha inflicted the first all out of the match in 14th minute to lead 15-6.
Nitin Tomar was on a roll in the first half as he scored 10 points to give UP Yoddha 20-10 lead in the first half. Meraj Sheykh failed to get going to Dabang Delhi and could not score a single point in the first half.
The second half followed a similar script to the first half as UP Yoddha scored four points in six minutes compared to Delhi's single point.
UP Yoddha inflicted an all-out in the 27th minute to extend the lead to 28-11.
Dabang Delhi were being steamrolled by UP Yoddha as they could score just one point in the first nine minutes of second half.
It was a one-sided affair as UP Yoddha were ruthless and opened a 21-point lead with nine minutes to go. In the 33rd minute, UP Yoddha inflicted another all-out to lead 38-11.
Meraj Sheykh finally opened his account late in the second half but it was an out and out disaster for Delhi in the second half.
