The Haryana Steelers are unbeaten in their last three games and will be high on confidence coming into this clash. The defense is working well for them, with the raiding unit making key contributions as well.
They will certainly look to carry the momentum forward and make it four wins in a row.
The Telugu Titans, on the other hand, will be desperate for a win. They have lost to the Bengaluru Bulls and U Mumba in their last two games. The Titans have struggled all season as they continue to reel at the bottom of the table.
