This sets a high standard for Noida, and we expect it to surpass expectations. The teams are evenly matched, and with such fierce competition, we are confident that the Noida leg will captivate fans.”

UP Yoddhas’ captain, Surender Gill, echoed the excitement of playing before their home crowd. “Home advantage significantly boosts a team’s performance, as we have consistently observed in PKL. The additional motivation from our supporters is invaluable, especially considering the demanding schedule. Our team is well-prepared and determined to deliver our best in front of our home crowd. We will strive to make every match count.”

U Mumba’s captain, Sunil Kumar, expressed his aspirations to reclaim the trophy for Mumbai. “The team is performing exceptionally well, and I am impressed by the commitment of our young players, many of whom are making their PKL debuts this season. Our primary goal is to maintain this momentum and mindset throughout the tournament. Given our current form, I am confident in our ability to reach the semifinals and finals. U Mumba last won the title in PKL Season 2 in 2015, and it is time to bring the trophy home for our fans.”
