Haryana Steelers will look to get back to winning ways

Season one winners, Jaipur Pink Panthers have kicked off their PKL 2019 campaign in style with two wins in two matches. The Deepak Hooda-led side has trounced U Mumba and Bengal Warriors in the league and they will now lock horns with Dharamraj Cheralathan's Haryana Steelers.

The Haryana side won its opening encounter against Puneri Paltan but suffered a defeat at the hands of Dabang Delhi K.C. in their following match. The Steelers may miss the services of their star raider, Vikash Khandola once again as he struggles to recover to full fitness.

Both the teams were a part of Zone A in the last two seasons of the league and had met each other on 6 different occasions. The Pink Panthers had won 3 of the 6 matches while Haryana had won 2. One of their meetings in PKL 2017 had ended in a tie.

With the two teams having a close head-to-head record, fans can expect a thrilling encounter to take place in Mumbai.
