Haryana Steelers will play their 16th match of Pro Kabaddi League 2024 against Bengal Warriorz tonight (December 4). The Steelers are at the top of the standings right now, while the Warriorz hold the 11th spot in the 12-team points table.
It should not be a surprise if the Haryana Steelers bulldoze the Bengal Warriorz in tonight's game. The Steelers have registered 12 wins in 15 matches thus far, and they are on a four-match winning streak at the moment.
On the other side, the Bengal Warriorz have recorded only three victories in 14 matches. They remained winless throughout the Noida leg of PKL 2024, losing seven matches on a trot. The Kolkata-based franchise will aim to make a fresh start to their campaign in Pune.

The Badminton Hall in Balewadi Sports Complex will play host to this contest between Haryana Steelers and Bengal Warriorz from 9pm IST onwards tonight. Before the match starts, here's a look at the three players who Dream11 users can pick as captain or vice-captain of their respective Pro Kabaddi fantasy teams.
#1 Vinay, Haryana Steelers
Raider Vinay has played an integral role in Haryana Steelers' success in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. The raider has earned 108 raid points in 15 matches, averaging more than seven raid points per game. At the moment, he holds the ninth position on the raiders' leaderboard of PKL 11.
In Haryana Steelers' last PKL match against the Tamil Thalaivas, Vinay stole the show by scoring nine points for the team. He will hold the key to Haryana's success once again. Considering how consistent he has been for the Steelers, Vinay will be the best choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in the fantasy contests tonight.
#2 Mohammadreza Shadloui, Haryana Steelers
Only three defenders have crossed the 50 tackle-points mark in PKL 11, and one of them is Haryana Steelers' left corner specialist Mohammadreza Shadloui. The Iranian all-rounder has scored 51 tackle points in 11 matches and holds the second position on the defenders' leaderboard.
Although Shadloui could not score a High 5 in Haryana Steelers' previous match against the Tamil Thalaivas, he will be a reliable option for captaincy or vice-captaincy in fantasy contests tonight. Bengal Warriorz's raiders have not been in the best touch, which is why Shadloui can be backed to score big tonight.
#3 Nitin Kumar Dhankar, Bengal Warriorz
Bengal Warriorz raider Nitin Kumar Dhankar has scored the highest points for his franchise in Pro Kabaddi League 2024. While many fans had their eyes on Maninder Singh and Fazel Atrachali in the Bengal squad, Nitin has outshone the star players by scoring 118 raid points from 14 matches.
Nitin stands sixth on the raiders' leaderboard. He has the most points in PKL 11 among all the players participating in tonight's Haryana Steelers vs Bengal Warriorz match. Thus, he is the safest choice for captaincy or vice-captaincy in the fantasy contests.
Apart from Nitin, fantasy users can also consider Maninder Singh as a potential captaincy option. Maninder has shown glimpses of returning to form in recent Pro Kabaddi matches.
