The Haryana Steelers will take on the Tamil Thalaivas in the 59th match of Pro Kabaddi 2024 on Sunday, November 17, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
Comfortably at the top of the table, the Steelers have been the best side this season by some margin, winning seven out of their nine matches so far. They enter this match after a hard-fought 37-32 win over the Patna Pirates, with their defensive unit stealing the show once again, with the raid points also spread out across the team.
Meanwhile, the Thalaivas rested key players like Sahil Gulia and Sachin Tanwar in their contest against the Bengal Warriorz on Saturday, and the new faces helped them break their four-match losing streak. They emerged 46-31 winners, riding on a superb defensive performance from Amirhossein Bastami and Nitesh Kumar, and a stellar Super 10 from Vishal Chahal.
They now face a selection conundrum going into this match.

HAR vs TAM Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 59
Raider - Narender Kandola
Narender has scored 71 raid points in 10 matches, leading the point-scoring charts for the Thalaivas, and has been a largely dependable source of points for them. With neither team's set of raiders consistent enough, Narender looks the best of the lot.
Defender - Amirhossein Bastami
Amirhossein Bastami has come into his own in the right corner position since Sagar Rathee was ruled out of the season with an injury. The Iranian defender has scored 25 tackle points in 10 matches, scoring 10 tackle points in the last two matches.
Against a fair few left raiders in the Haryana Steelers' lineup, he could score big on Dream11 in this fixture, although there are other solid options in Rahul Sethpal, Sanjay, and Jaideep Dahiya.
All-Rounder - Mohammadreza Shadloui/ Nitesh Kumar
A rare occasion, two Dream11 all-rounders are absolute must-haves in this fixture. Both Mohammadreza Shadloui and Nitesh Kumar are two of the highest point-scoring Dream11 assets in the game, and selecting both of them is a no-brainer, in addition to them being solid captaincy choices.

HAR vs TAM Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024
The Steelers are the stronger team going into this fixture, primarily because they're more settled, but they'll be wary of teams like the Thalaivas, who perform at their best when they go up against the best. From a Dream11 perspective, Mohammadreza Shadloui and a couple of other Haryana defenders look like a must. Nitesh Kumar and potentially Amirhossein Bastami are must-haves from the Thalaivas.
Shadloui is undoubtedly the best Dream11 captaincy pick, with Nitesh Kumar and Rahul Sethpal as solid supporting options.
