Haryana Steelers vs Dabang Delhi KC Probable playing 7s
Haryana Steelers
The Steelers are unlikely to tinker with their starting seven from their previous match. All eyes will be on skipper Vikash Kandola, who played well in the previous match, scoring 17 points.
Kandola was well supported by Meetu, who scored six points while raiding. Surender Nada and Jaideep will be the ones to watch out for in the defense after a splendid performance in their last match.
Probable Playing 7: Vikash Kandola, Ravi Kumar, Jaideep, Ankit/ Rohit Gulia, Meetu, Mohit, Surender Nada
Dabang Delhi KC
With Naveen Kumar missing from the lineup in the previous match, the Delhi team struggled in the raiding department. The defense also looked out of sorts and will look to get their act together to snap out of their two-match losing streak.
Ashu Malik and Vijay showed promise in the previous match but experienced raider Ajay Thakur will have to step up if Naveen Kumar does not find a place in the team for the second consecutive match. Defensive duties will be shared between Jeeva Kumar, Manjeet Chhillar, Joginder Narwal, and Sandeep Narwal.
Probable Playing 7: Jeeva Kumar, Manjeet Chhillar, Joginder Narwal, Sandeep Narwal, Ajay Thakur/ Vijay, Ashu Malik
Today's PKL Match prediction
Going by the current form, the Haryana Steelers and Delhi very much look at par on paper. Both teams have a good lineup but the Delhi team holds a slight advantage on paper, considering the amount of bulk experience in their lineup.
Prediction: Delhi are expected to win the match.
