Dabang Delhi K.c. Vs Haryana Steelers 14 December 2024

That is all from the action here, this is Sourabh taking you leave and wishing you a very good night. See you soon!

FULL TIME 40' Dabang Delhi 44-37 Haryana Steelers

Haryana Steelers get a point out of this contest but Delhi continue their unbeaten streak which is now 13-matches long!

Some quick points in the end for the Steelers and they were able to inflict an all-out in the last minute. The gap between both the teams was 8 as Ashu went in for the last raid of the match, it was upto the Steeler's defense to tackle him and reduce the gap to 7 for getting one point from this match and that is when  Rahul Setpal came in from the right side and went for the block on Ashu and executed it successfully.

But it was a night that belonged to Dabang Delhi who have defeated the table-toppers and have moved to the second place in the points table in doing so.

It could have been much worse for the Steelers had it not been for the final few minutes but that was a clinical performance from Dabang Delhi. A huge 15-point effort from Ashu Malik who led from the front yet again and he was ably supported Naveen Kumar scored 7 raid points. However, the big difference was both the corners where Yogesh got 4 tackle points in the right and Ashish Malik scored a high-5 in the left corner.

For the Steelers, it was an off-night.  Their talisman Shadloui was the only shining light for them picking up 9 points in total. Shivam Patare picked up 6 raid points and looked the best among their raiders but for some strange was substituted.

HALF TIME 20' Dabang Delhi 20-18 Haryana Steelers

Out of nowhere, Dabang Delhi have the lead at the halftime break. The lead was 7 points for the Steelers at one point but Delhi have bounced back and how. Ashu reduced them to a solitary man with a raid point which is when Jaya Soorya was subbed in to raid.

He went in but did not return to his own half as a hungry Yogesh in Delhi's right corner got his ankles and the rest of the team joined in to inflict the all-out.

There was just enough time for one more raid in which Ashu got his 8th raid point of the match in the form of right cover Sanjay who attempted an unsuccessful dash and to make matters worse for the Steelers, Rahul Setpal had stepped out of bounds in the right corner.

This has all the makings of going down to the wire, you don't go anywhere!

Hello and good evening from Sourabh as I welcome you to Sportskeeda's continued live coverage of PKL 11. It is time for Match 112 which will see Dabang Delhi KC take on the Haryana Steelers at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune

The Haryana Steelers have been a cut above the rest of the teams and have already booked their places in the playoffs with their previous win against the Titans a couple of days ago. They are well clear at the top of the table and their top spot should not be in any danger unless they slip up big time from hereon. Having said that, they would still want to control the controllables and keep the momentum going. A win today would guarantee the Steelers a top-2 finish and that it something that would on the top of their bucket list as of now.

But if there is one team that can stop the Steeler's juggernaut it is Dabang Delhi KC. Currently placed at third in the points table, Dabang Delhi are having a dream run and the team from the capital city has not lost its last 12 matches, with the last loss for them being on November 5. They have been riding high on the back of their co-captains Ashu Malik and Naveen Kumar, both of whom are going through a purple patch.

It is going to be a mouth-watering battle between Delhi's duo of Ashu and Naveen who will be up against the might of Shadloui. 

Which team will come out on top? Let's find out together!
