Patna Pirates will face the Haryana Steelers in the 45th match of the Pro Kabaddi League 2023. Noida Indoor Stadium in Noida will be hosting this exciting encounter on Friday, December 29.
Patna Pirates have failed to impress in both departments so far and have won just once in their previous five games. They suffered a humiliating 46-28 defeat to Puneri Paltan in their previous outing.
The three-time champions will be hoping for a strong comeback in the Noida leg, as they are currently placed ninth in the points table with 17 points, having won only three of their seven games so far, losing the other four.
Bengal Warriors, on the other hand, have a similar story, having lost the plot after a strong start. The team is currently on a winless streak of four games, including a 38-29 defeat against the Dabang Delhi KC in their previous game.
The Maninder Singh-led side will be hoping for a change in fortunes as they are currently placed fifth in the points table with 22 points, having won three of their eight games so far.

Patna Pirates vs Haryana Steelers Match Prediction
Sachin Tanwar has been the only positive for the three-time champion Patna Pirates this season. The defensive unit of the team is the major area of concern, as the duo of Neeraj Kumar and Ankit Jaglan have failed miserably so far.
Nitin Kumar led the raiding department of the team against the Dabang Delhi KC, with the young raider missing his well-deserved super 10 by just one point. Shubham Shinde and Vaibhav Garje were instrumental in the defence, nothing up four and three points, respectively.
Prediction: Bengal Warriors to win the match.
