TEAMS PREVIEW

Haryana Steelers Preview

Haryana Steelers suffered a close 38-40 loss to Bengal Warriors. Vinay shone with a Super 10 (10 raid points), and Naveen contributed 6 points (2 raid touches, 3 bonus points, and 1 tackle point). Rahul Sethpal and Sanjay Dhull led the defense with 3 tackle points each. Mohammadreza Shadloui impressed with 9 points (1 raid touch, 4 raid bonus points, and 4 tackle points). However, 5 extra points, primarily due to self-outs, cost them the game.

The Steelers now turn their attention to an out-of-form Gujarat Giants team. Shadloui will be key against the Giants' right raiders, while Jaideep Dahiya needs to step up against left raider Guman Singh.

This season, the Steelers have averaged 34.2 points per game and conceded 32.2 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 19 points per game, and their defense averages 11.6 tackles per game, the fourth-best in the league. Vinay leads the team with 36 raid points, and Sanjay Dhull tops the defensive charts with 15 tackle points.

Haryana Steelers Probable Starting 7 - Vinay, Shivam Patare, Naveen, Mohammadreza Sahdloui, Rahul Sethpal, Jaideep Dahiya, Sanjay Krishan Dhull

Gujarat Giants Preview

Gujarat Giants are having a disastrous season, losing four of their five matches, including a recent 49-30 defeat to Puneri Paltan. Both the raiding and defensive units struggled in that match. Guman Singh scored his first Super 10 of the season with 12 raid points, while Jitender Yadav led the defense with 3 tackle points.

Coach Ram Mehar Singh faces a challenging task against Haryana Steelers. Guman Singh will again be the key raider, but the Giants' inconsistent defense is a major concern. The corner defenders need to significantly improve their performance if the Giants want to win this match.

The Giants are averaging the league's lowest 29.4 points per game and conceding 38.6 points per game. Their raiding unit averages 16.4 points per game, while their defense averages 10.6 tackle points per game.
