DDKC vs HS
Winning Prediction

The Haryana Steelers, with their formidable defense led by Shadloui and their in-form raiders like Shivam Patare, are well-positioned to extend their winning streak against the Dabang Delhi KC. While Delhi's raiding duo of Naveen and Ashu Malik pose a threat, the Steelers' strong defense and consistent raiding performances should give them the advantage. Expect a closely contested match, but the Steelers are likely to emerge victorious.
