Vasilisa Marzaluik helped Veer Marathas inch closer to a semifinal berth by winning the sixth and final bout of the night to complete a 4-2 victory over Delhi Sultans in the Pro Wrestling League (PWL) in New Delhi.<\/p>\n
The 2017 world championship silver medallist, Vasilisa, breezed past Egypt\u2019s Samar Hamza for a 6-0 win at the Siri Fort Indoor Stadium.<\/p>\n
Commonwealth Championship silver medallist Parveen Rana set up the victory for the Marathas before her, by easily taking down Vinod Omprakash in the 74-kg category.<\/p>\n
Rana got off to a flying start as he scored two points in the first round; he survived a late scare though, as Vinod, who replaced injury hit Sushil Kumar, almost tied him down, to finish with a comprehensive 4-0 victory to give his side a 3-2 lead.<\/p>\n
In the fourth bout of the day, down 1-2 in the tie, Marathas\u2019 Marwa Amri romped past the 2017 Commonwealth Championship silver medallist Sangeeta Phogat to level the tie.<\/p>\n
Marwa pinned Sangeeta down for a comfortable 4-0 win in the first round itself.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, Veer Marathas won the toss and blocked World Champion Haji Aliev while the Sultans used the opportunity to put Ritu Malik out of action.<\/p>\n
In the lung opener, the Sultans got off to a winning start as Sandeep Tomar registered his fourth consecutive win, pinning his compatriot Naveen Kumar.<\/p>\n
Sandeep dominated his opponent from the word go and came into his elements in the second round when he rolled his opponent and overpowered him with his might.<\/p>\n
Veer Marathas\u2019 Ritu Phogat promptly restored parity, defeating African Championship gold medalist Maroi Meizen in a lop-sided affair.<\/p>\n
Maroi tried to put up a stiff defence but Ritu brought out all the tricks up her sleeve and took an impregnable 14-1 lead at the break. Ritu continued to overshadow her opponent and extended her lead to 17-1 to win on technical superiority.<\/p>\n
World Championship bronze medallist Aslan Alborov, however, maintained his unbeaten run in the league to help the Sultans regain the lead by winning the 92kg clash.<\/p>\n
In a clash between titans, Alborov narrowly beat Georgi Keteov of Veer Marathas 3-1 to give the Sultans a slight edge. Both wrestlers began cautiously, waiting for the other to make the big move.<\/p>\n
Alborov found an opening as the first period was drawing to a close, rolling his burly opponent to take a 3-0 lead. Keteov tried to fight back in the second period but just couldn\u2019t find a way past Alborov\u2019s defences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
