LIVE COMMENTARY: Gujarat Fortunegiants vs Haryana Steelers, 02 September 2017

But that was the last loss for Gujarat Fortunegiants before they embarked on their unbeaten streak of seven matches, with the last one coming against the Puneri Paltan. The Haryana Steelers though, are coming into this match on the back of a loss against U Mumba from the Mumbai leg.

What has worked well for the Gujarat Fortunegiants is their starting seven combination of youth and experience both of which have showcased their mettle on the mat. The two corner defenders, Fazel Atrachali and Abozar Mighani have been lethal against the approaching raiders and have been supported in their actions by the young Indian cover defending duo of Parvesh Bhainswal and Sunil.

The attack of the side is spearheaded by their captain Sukesh Hegde, who has a lot of pressure taken off his shoulders because of the rampant raiding by the young guns particularly Sachin who has been a livewire on the mat and Rohit Gulia.

Haryana Steelers, on the other hand, struggled against U Mumba the other day, and a key reason for that was the fact that Surender Nada was out of contention for most time and without him, even Mohit Chhillar looked off sheen in the defence. Moreover, Vikas Khandola, the young raider has also suffered an injury and is likely to miss this game. In such a scenario, the attacking responsibilities will fall on Surjeet Singh, Deepak Dahiya and Wazir Singh. The cover defenders in the likes of Rakesh Singh and Neeraj Kumar also need to buck up and execute some key tackles.

Gujarat Fortunegiants will definitely be on the hunt for a win and are most likely to register the same for as a unit they look formidable on the mat, well-structured and well-balanced to deal with any kind of opposition. With the raiders in supreme form, they will attack the weak links in the Haryana cover positions while the Iranian-Indian defence of Gujarat will restrict the raids of the rival raiders.
