Haryana Steelers Vs Puneri Paltan 28 October 2022

That's it from here. Hope you enjoyed the coverage, until next time, this is Pragadeesh singing off

FT: Puneri Paltan 27-27 Haryana Steelers

What a finish to the game! Puneri Paltan have been denied a win in front of their home crowd. But it was an incredible fightback from the Steelers in the last five minutes as Manjeet stamped his authority to drag his team back into the contest

Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat were kept quiet in the dying moments as the Paltan struggled to make an impact. That all-out from Manjeet broke this game wide open but a couple of defensive error from the Steelers came at the wrong time.

Meetu got a nod ahead of the dangerous Manjeet in the final do-or-die raid and that was a questionable decision from Manpreet. He was tackled by Fazel & co but Sanket went out of bounds along with Meetu as the referee awarded 1-point each to both teams to bring delight Manpreet's face

40' It's not Manjeet, who takes the last raid! Oh man, Meetu shoulders the responsibility but he's been dashed out of the bounds. WAIT, another twist in the tale as Sanket Sawant doesn't have any part his body inside the lobby. He loses balance, goes out of bounds along with Meetu and this match ends in a tie

Aslam Inamdar kills the time and returns without a touch point. Now, it's a do-or-die raid for the Steelers

Two empty raids and we have just 30 seconds left

1 minute 20 seconds to go.. Who will reign supreme?

It's all level now but the momentum is with the Steelers as they have managed to pick up 8 points in the last four minutes.

Aslam Inamdar opens the raid in the second half and he returns empty-handed

HT: Puneri Paltan 13-10 Haryana Steelers

Both teams started off in a circumspect manner as they were striking only in the do-or-die raids. Mohit Goyat escaped from the dash from Nitin and eventually got a super raid to make this contest exciting. Meetu and Manjeet ran away with raid points at regular intervals but this first-half hasn't produced the flow that the Pune fans are expecting now.

An important second half and both teams are yet to inflict an all-out.

Hello and welcome to the LIVE coverage of the PKL match between Haryana Steelers and Puneri Paltan at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Wrestling hall in Pune. To take you through everything that unfolds in this contest, it's myself (Pragadeesh) who is ready to roll out the updates in your way

Alright! Puneri Paltan looked down in the first three matches and many of us would've written them off but they bounced back really well to win four matches on the trot. The fast and furious raids by Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar, coupled with Fazel Atrachali's strong defense has come in handy for Paltan in recent matches. The trio would look to put in a strong show to help his team continue the winning streak

On the other hand, the Steelers end their losing streak when they defeated the below-par Titans' defense by a huge margin. But their real test will be today and it's interesting to see how Manjeet & co perform against the solid Paltan's outfit
