The Haryana Steelers and the Puneri Paltan go up against each other in the rematch of last season's (Pro Kabaddi 10) final on Wednesday, November 27, at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The Steelers have been the best team this season by some margin. They have won 10 games out of 13 so far, are six points clear at the top of the table, and will look to go further extend their lead with a win in this contest against the Puneri Paltan.
Meanwhile, the defending champions have struggled to generate significant momentum in their last six outings. They come into this match on the back of a defeat against the Jaipur Pink Panthers by a 14-point margin. They desperately need a big win to boost their morale, and this game could be the one.

Let's look at the top three Dream11 surprise picks for this one.
HAR vs PUN Dream11 Prediction: 3 surprise picks for today's Pro Kabaddi 2024 match
#3 Sanket Sawant (DEF) (PUN)
Puneri Paltan left-cover Sanket Sawant could have a positive outing and be a potential Dream11 surprise pick in this fixture. Often the least point-scoring member in this Paltan side, Sanket's defensive position reduces the opportunities he has to initiate tackles, and with only 12 tackle points in 11 games this season, he hasn't had the best of times.
However, against the Haryana Steelers raiding unit that does possess a few left-raiders in their roster, Sanket could have a decent game. A defender needs only 2-3 tackle points to walk away with a good enough Dream11 haul, and one well-timed dash or block early in the match could do the trick for Sanket.
No doubt a risky option, he could be a useful Dream11 option for this one.
#2 V Ajith Kumar (RAI) (PUN)
The Paltan's star signing at the auction, V Ajith Kumar could be an explosive Dream11 differential against the Haryana Steelers. The Paltan's current raiding trio of Akash Shinde, Mohit Goyat, and captain Pankaj Mohite haven't been doing enough, and a change is on the cards ahead of this match, with Ajith likely to come in for one of the three.
He has gotten only four opportunities to get onto the mat this season, where he scored 13 raid points, including a useful cameo against the Telugu Titans, with the match ultimately ending in defeat for Pune. His explosive raiding potential is known to all, and with 477 career raid points in 84 matches, he is quite an experienced and successful raider.
If he does make it to the starting 7 tonight, Ajith Kumar could be a powerful Dream11 surprise pick.
#1 Sanjay (DEF) (HAR)
It's a major surprise seeing one of the highest point-scoring cover defenders struggling to get enough Dream11 ownership this season, especially when he is playing for the team currently at the top of the table. However, that's the fate that the Haryana Steelers' right-cover Sanjay is suffering, with his ownership levels of 35% not enough for a player of his caliber.
Having notched up 33 tackle points in 13 matches, a stellar number for a cover defender, he's well set to add to that in this fixture against a thoroughly underwhelming Pune raiding unit that consists of many right raiders.
It shouldn't take much convincing for you to select Sanjay in your Dream11 teams, and a big haul is very likely for him in this match.
