Haryana Steelers will look to continue their winning run against Tamil Thalaivas
Haryana Steelers will be up against the Tamil Thalaivas in their next game on Saturday, September 20. They are in brilliant form at the moment, having won four out of their last five matches. Haryana appear to be on the right track to defend their title.
As of Match No.41, Tamil Thalaivas have three wins and two defeats from five matches. They won their last two games and will look to edge past Haryana, which would give them a huge confidence boost.
However, an in-form Haryana Steelers side will begin as favorites to emerge victorious in this clash. They will aim to make it four wins in a row and continue their solid run this season.
