Haryana Steelers and Patna Pirates remain in the bottom half of Pro Kabaddi 2022 points table
It was a forgettable night for both the Haryana Steelers and Patna Pirates. Both suffered a 14-point defeat each at the hands of Jaipur Pink Panthers and Puneri Paltan.
With this defeat, Haryana's road to the playoffs has become even tougher. The Steelers now need to win their remaining two matches by big margins and hope a few other results go their way.
Patna, on the other hand, are 11th in the Pro Kabaddi 2022 points table with 49 points. Even if they win their remaining two matches, the Pirates will only finish with 59 points, which might not be enough for a place in the playoffs.
