Haryana Steelers’ defense will play a crucial role in the match

The last fixture for the teams was against each other back in Hyderabad, and that match went down to the wire, ending in 27-27 tie.AEven though Gujarat led at half-time, the Steelers came from behind as both teams took home 3 points each.

The Fortunegiants sit third in the Zone A standings after picking 8 points from 2 matches with a win and tie. The team is coming together under Sukesh Hegdeas leadership with Mahendra Rajput and Sachin putting up a good display with him in the raiding department. The defence corners show a look of consistency with Fazel Atrachali and Abozar Mighani holding their own to head the defence, aided by youngsters Sunil Kumar and Parvesh Bhainswal.

Haryana Steelers had picked up 4 points from 2 matches after a loss and a tie, but the solid defensive partnership between captain Surender Nada and Mohit Chhillar has been their strength. Vikash Khandola has been a revelation for the Steelers alongside the experienced Surjeet Singh, who picked up 13 points between them the last time the team met this season. Wazir Singh looks a bit out of form but with a long season ahead, he has time to get his raiding chops back.
