Sat Nov 16 16:54:23 UTC 2024: ## Haryana Steelers Favored to Beat Tamil Thalaivas in Upcoming Pro Kabaddi League Match

**NOIDA, INDIA** – The Haryana Steelers, currently topping the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 standings, are set to face the Tamil Thalaivas on November 17th at the Noida Indoor Stadium. The match, slated as Match 59, pits the league leaders against a team struggling near the bottom of the table.

Haryana Steelers enter the match on a high, having recently defeated the Patna Pirates 37-32. Their strong performance is underscored by their current league position, boasting a 4-1-4 win-loss-tie record after nine games. Key players to watch for Haryana include raider Vinay (6.56 points per game) and defender Rahul (2.34 points per game). All-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui, with 56 points in 9 matches, is another potential game-changer.

The Tamil Thalaivas, on the other hand, are looking to turn their fortunes around after a recent 32-35 loss to U Mumba. They currently sit 10th in the league after nine matches. Their top raider, Narender Kandola, averages an impressive 9.36 points per match, but consistent team performance has been lacking. Veteran raider Sachin Tanwar, with 62 raid points this season, will be crucial for the Thalaivas.

Fantasy league players are advised to consider Sachin, Rahul, and Mohammadreza Shadloui as captain or vice-captain choices. Sachin’s 1014 career raid points and Rahul’s 152 tackle points make them strong contenders. Shadloui’s all-around contributions also position him as a valuable asset.

Historically, Haryana Steelers have dominated the head-to-head matchup, winning 6 out of 11 encounters against Tamil Thalaivas, with 3 ties and only 2 wins for the Thalaivas. Based on current form and past performance, the Haryana Steelers are widely predicted to emerge victorious in this clash.
