Match Analysis

Gujarat Fortune Giants

The Gujarat Giants would be gutted at having missed another opportunity to win let slip through their fingers. Rakesh Narwal put in an excellent performance to end up 13 points but it was not enough. Still, that performance will give him a lot of confidence moving forward. Is he the answer to the absence of Sachin this season? We are still not sure about that but he is the established lead raider of the Gujarat Giants at this point in time. Girish Maruti and Parvesh Bhainswal both showed signs of form in the previous match. Defense has always been the cornerstone of the Gujarat Giants and they certainly have the players to be able to deliver that this time as well.

However, there is a lot of scope for improvement and there have been a lot of unnecessary errors made by the defense this season.

Haryana Steelers

The inexperienced Haryana Steelers were demolished by the Bengaluru Bulls in the previous match. Pawan Kumar Sehrawat just ran them ragged and they never really had a chance. Still, it was clear to see that Vikash Kandola, Meetu, and Rohit Gulia have a lot of work left to do. The Haryana Steelers are struggling for consistency and we think they could continue to struggle against the Gujarat Giants as well, especially in the raiding department.

Haryana's defense is not too bad but it is not great either. Theirs is a young team that is still learning about each other and the right strategy to be successful in the PKL. It has potential but we don't expect it to be able to stop the top teams.

Key stat

The Gujarat Giants have the least number of successful tackles in PKL 2021-22 so far. The Haryana Steelers have been all-out five times in the four matches that they have played and that is certainly among the higher numbers in the PKL right now.

Verdict

We are going to bet on the Gujarat Giants to win. We think they have a better defense and their raiding unit is also coming together nicely as Rakesh narwal finds form.

Bet on the Gujarat Giants to win.
