Nitin Tomar UP Yoddha
Nitin Tomar will be crucial to U.P. Yoddha's chances

#2 Jeeva Kumar (U.P. Yoddha) vs Vikas Kandola (Haryana Steelers)

Vikas Kandola Haryana Steelers
Kandola's raiding will play an important role for the Steelers

Vikas Kandola has been the Steelers' main source of offense and his energetic raids have helped them put points on board for their defence to fight for.

Kandola has scored 22 points in his four matches so far, and despite his consistency, Haryana have won only one of their four matches, losing one and playing out a tie in the other two.

He will have to be at his best to ensure his side defeat the home team, who will be banking on Jeeva Kumar to stop him.

Kumar, who can play as both right and left cover, has been an important figure in the Yoddha's rearguard, and has scored 11 points in five matches.

The winner of this battle will go a long way in determining who wins the encounter between the two teams.
