Haryana Steelers will take on Gujarat Giants in the 31st encounter of Pro Kabaddi League 2023 at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune on December 19, Monday.
Haryana Steelers are on the seventh slot in the points table with three wins and one loss and have racked up 15 valuable points. The Steelers are in red-hot form and are on a three-win streak.
In their most recent clash, they stunned Puneri Paltan by 44-39 and are aiming to add more wins and solidify their spot in the tally. All-rounder Ashish, who is having an underwhelming season, would be hoping for a change of fortunes and lead his team to another win.
Gujarat Giants slipped to the third position in the standings after their tie with Bengal Warriors and Puneri Paltan's win in the previous day's games. With three wins and two losses, the Giants are on 17 points.
They are entering this game on the back of two successive defeats to Puneri Paltan (30-33) and Jaipur Pink Panthers (32-35), respectively. A lot depends on Sonu Jaglan’s raiding performance on the mat for the Giants to get back to winning ways.
