Team News- Haryana Steelers
The Steelers planned their encounter against the Pirates and were smart towards the closing stages to secure an assured win over them. Vikash Khandola and Prashanth Kumar Rai did well in the raiding department while the defence managed to scrape out some tackle points. Kuldeep Singh in the left corner blanked but the rest of the defence did pretty well. Cheralathan could replace Kuldeep if fit otherwise an unchanged team is expected.
