HAR vs UP Dream11 prediction: Today's match predicted playing 7s for Haryana Steelers vs UP Yoddhas Pro Kabaddi 2024, Semi-Final 1

The Haryana Steelers and the UP Yoddhas will face off in the first semi-final of PKL 11 on Friday, December 27, at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune.

The Steelers were easily the best team in the league stage and finished comfortably atop the points table, winning 16 games in 22. With a dynamic raiding unit and a rock-solid defensive unit, powered by a game-changing Mohammadreza Shadloui, they're definitely the favorites to win PKL 11.

However, a high-flying UP Yoddhas will definitely pose a challenge to their title aspirations, especially after their crushing 46-18 win over the Jaipur Pink Panthers yesterday in the Eliminator.

With both teams winning one game apiece in the league stage, this game could go either way and should go down to the wire.

HAR vs UP Dream11 Team Prediction Top Picks, Pro Kabaddi 2024, Match 135, Semi-Final 1

Raider - Vinay

It's hard to pick the best Dream11 raiding option in this fixture, especially with neither team having a particular lead raider, with Vinay, Shivam Patare, Gagan Gowda, and Bhavani Rajput shouldering the raiding burdens of their teams equally.

Vinay is the most consistent and the highest point-scoring player of the lot, and with this being a crunch game, backing him could be a smart option.

---

Defender - Sumit

The UP Yoddhas' left corner Sumit is definitely a Dream11 must-have in this fixture. One of the most consistent defenders in the league, his defensive position and form makes it very likely for him to record more than 3-4 tackle points in this fixture.

---

All-Rounder - Mohammadreza Shadloui

This is the easy decision in this fixture filled with tough ones. Shadloui is arguably the best Dream11 asset in the entire league, let alone in the all-rounders' category, and is definitely a must-have, and one of the best captaincy picks.

HAR vs UP Expert Tips for Pro Kabaddi 2024

While the temptation might exist to go all in on either of these teams, a balanced Dream11 selection might be the way to go for this one, with both sides looking really strong in what's set to be a cliffhanger of a semi-final. With two strong defensive units going head-to-head, there might not be too many raid points in this one.

Captaincy-wise, Shadloui, Sumit, Hitesh, and Rahul Sethpal stand out.
