Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League: Kanpur Warriors staged a strong second-half comeback, while Lucknow Lions continued with their unbeaten run with another dominant display on the sixth day of Season 2 in the Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League (UPKL) at the Noida Indoor Stadium in Noida on Tuesday.

In the opening match of the day that produced contrasting results, Kanpur Warriors scored a hard-fought 35–30 victory over Aligarh Tigers.

Aligarh Tigers, playing without key raider Vinay, were led by Kunal Bhati, who produced an impressive first-half performance, scoring consistently and helping his side inflict an early all-out. Aligarh went into halftime with a five-point lead. However, the momentum shifted after the break as Kanpur Warriors tightened their defence and capitalised on Kunal being kept quiet in the second half.
