TEAMS PREVIEW

Haryana Steelers Preview

The Haryana Steelers head into this contest on the back of a stellar win over the Puneri Paltan in their last match, which went down to the wire. They managed to hold on to a four-point lead, with the final score being 34-30.

Vinay, with 13 raid points, and Shivam Patare, with 8 raid points, were the top two raiders for the Steelers in this game. On the defensive end, it was their skipper, Jaideep Dahiya, who stood out with 4 tackle points, and Rahul Sethpal also stepped up with 3 tackle points.

Tamil Thalaivas Preview

The Tamil Thalaivas are coming off a one-sided drubbing at the hands of the Telugu Titans in their last match, where they succumbed right from the beginning of the game. There was no coming back, as the game ended with a score of 29-43. Arjun Deshwal (7 raid points) and Narender Kandola (4 tackle points) didn't quite get going, and their defense also struggled on the night.

The Thalaivas have had a mixed season regarding their raiding, as the bulk of the scoring has been done by Arjun Deshwal, who has scored 66 raid points in 6 matches with 4 Super 10s. A huge problem for them is that none of the other raiders are even averaging 4 raid points per game.

On the defensive end, the Thalaivas have performed much better in their last two matches. In fact, they are the fourth-best defensive team this season, averaging 11 tackle points per game and having inflicted 6 all-outs so far. Nitesh Kumar has been one of the key players in the Thalaivas' defense, with 17 tackle points.

Tamil Thalaivas Probable Starting 7  - Arjun Deshwal, Ronak, Aashish, Himanshu, Narender Kandola, Suresh Jadhav, Nitesh Kumar

HS vs TAMT
Winning Prediction

The Haryana Steelers enter this contest as the clear favorites to win. The Steelers have a well-balanced lineup where both their raiders are in red-hot form and are well complemented by one of the toughest defensive units this season. In contrast, the Thalaivas lack depth in their raiding, which could well lead to their downfall in this fixture. We predict an easy win for the Haryana Steelers in this match.
