Telugu Titans Vs Haryana Steelers 25 October 2022

That's it from the coverage here, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off

FT: Telugu Titans 24-43 Haryana Steelers

The Steelers end their losing streak as they steamrolled the Titans to get a massive win. Meetu and Manjeet wreaked havoc to the Titans' defense throughout the match, while in contrast, the Titans' raiders struggled to make an impact in the match

Vinay was stretched off due to an injury and his replacement Siddharth Desai got five raid points, which is the highest by the Titans' raider eventually. The Titans didn't recover from an early setback after the Steelers inflicted the first all-out in the first half. 

Meetu and Manjeet were all over the Titans' defense in the second half and the former goes on to even register his super 10.

HT: Telugu Titans 11-24 Haryana Steelers

It's been a dominating performance from the Steelers. Manjeet Chillar has his work cut out to uplift the energy of the players as they look down and out at the moment. 

The Titans' defense have been really struggling as they have only three tackle points so far, while the raiders' impact too hasn't been up to the mark. Losing Vinay due to a nasty injury turned out to be a big blow for the Titans, so a comeback from this position seems to be very slim. But anyhow, let's see what happens in the second half shortly
