The Haryana Steelers will lock horns with the Gujarat Giants in Match 84 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2022 on Monday. The Sheraton Grand Whitefield Hotel and Convention Center in Bengaluru will host this contest.
The Steelers are currently ranked fourth in the PKL standings with 42 points to their name from 14 games. They have six wins and five losses so far this season, while three games have ended in draws. Meanwhile, the Giants find themselves in 11th place with just 28 points from 12 matches. They have three wins and draws each in the ongoing edition of the Pro Kabaddi League. They have lost their remaining six matches this season.
The Haryana Steelers drew their previous PKL encounter against the Telugu Titans. They are on a four-match unbeaten streak and will look to extend that run going forward in the competition.
Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, lost their previous encounter against Dabang Delhi KC by a huge margin. They will look to get back to winning ways when they take on the Haryana-based club in the first game of the day.
In the head-to-head battle, Haryana has defeated Gujarat 6 times in 9 meetings between the two sides in PKL including the reverse fixture earlier this season. Vikash Kandola and Meetu scored Super10s in a 38-36 win, while Rakesh Sangroya of Gujarat scored 19 raid points.
Haryana Steelers have assembled one of the best squads in Season 8. Their cover defenders Jaideep and Mohit have arguably been the best combination in the entire league. But Haryana has often failed to stamp its authority and seal victories.
The form is definitely on Haryana’s side but Gujarat’s desperation for a win could bring out the best from their seasoned stars.
