TEAMS PREVIEW

Haryana Steelers Preview

Haryana Steelers head into this contest on the back of a dominant 37-32 victory over the UP Yoddhas in their last match. The Steelers were trailing by five points at halftime with the score at 12-17, but they made a comeback in the second half, outscoring the Yoddhas 25-15. This was largely due to their defensive effort, where they made 10 tackles in the second half alone.

On the offensive end, Naveen Kumar led the charge with six raid points, while Vinay and Shivam Patare struggled, combining for a total of four raid points. The secondary support came from Mayank Saini, who scored four raid points off the bench.

However, it was the Steelers' defense that stole the show. Rahul Ahri led with six tackle points, well-supported by Rahul Sethpal's five tackles. Their skipper, Jaideep Dahiya, also chipped in with three tackle points. The Steelers made a total of 16 tackles, with a success rate of 58%.
