Match Analysis

Tamil Thalaivas

We thought the Tamil Thalaivas made a lot of unforced errors in their previous match. They did not play their best raider, Manjeet, and instead gave the mantle of lead raider to the inexperienced Bhavani Rajput. That strategy fell on its face and Rajput was able to score just two points in the match. Athul MS was also a disappointment but Ajinkya Pawar, brought on as a substitute, was superb. If the Tamil Thalaivas bring back Manjeet and pair him with Pawar, we think they could be much harder to stop. Surjeet Singh and Sagar Krishna are the lead defenders for the Thalaivas and they are going to have their hands full against the Haryana Steelers raiding trio for sure.

Haryana Steelers

A very impressive win against the Bengal Warriors has marked out the Haryana Steelers as a team to watch out for. That was their third win of the season and another win here will put it in touching distance of the leaders. The Haryana Steelers have a very good attack led by Vikash Kandola, Meetu, and Rohit Gulia. All three of them have played their part and it is also creditable that the team is flexible enough to recognize which player is having a good day and give him more time on the mat. In terms of offense, the Haryana Steelers seem to have a small advantage.

Jaideep, Surender Nada, and Mohit were all quite brilliant against the Bengal Warriors and would definitely back themselves to do well against the Tamil Thalaivas.

Key stat

No team has been involved in more ties in PKL 2021-22 than the Tamil Thalaivas (four). The Haryana Steelers have 227 points this season, just second most out of all teams in PKL 2021-22.

Verdict

This promises to be another game and would you really count out another tie for the Tamil Thalaivas? Looking at the current form of the two teams, as well as their strengths, we think the Haryana Steelers have the upper hand and should be able to get a win in this match. It is going to be close but the superior raiding unit of the Steelers may help it edge out this contest.

Bet on the Haryana Steelers to win.
