Haryana Steelers vs Dabang Delhi (HAR vs DEL) 70th Match Preview - PKL 2025
Haryana Steelers (HAR) Preview
Haryana Steelers are in trouble after three straight defeats following a strong four-match winning run. Despite sitting 6th with six wins from 11 games and staying in playoff contention, their momentum has clearly dipped.
The recent losses expose key issues. Narrow one-point defeats to Jaipur Pink Panthers and Dabang Delhi showed they can compete but struggle to finish close contests. The 12-point thrashing by Tamil Thalaivas, however, highlighted deeper defensive flaws. A total collapse in the second half — zero tackle points from 18 attempts — pointed to mental lapses more than skill gaps.
Vinay and Shivam Patare’s off-day against Tamil Thalaivas (just 7 combined raid points) compounded the defensive failure. Only Jaideep’s High 5 (5 tackle points) stood out amid collective inconsistency.
Haryana Steelers’ Raiders – In Search of Support
With Naveen Kumar injured, the team heavily depends on Vinay and Shivam Patare. Both have been consistent, but the lack of a third dependable raider remains a weakness.
Current stats:
Vinay: 87 raid points (avg 8.7, 54% SR, 4 Super 10s)
Shivam Patare: 84 raid points (avg 7.6, 60% SR, 2 Super 10s)
Mayank Saini: 16 raid points (avg 2.3, 43% SR in 7 matches)
Mayank Saini adds depth but hasn’t eased the load effectively. Against Dabang Delhi’s elite defence (48% tackle strike rate), both lead raiders must fire together — or the Steelers risk another setback.
Dabang Delhi (DEL) Preview
Dabang Delhi K.C. are on a roll, extending their winning streak to four matches with a gritty 29–26 win over Jaipur Pink Panthers. With 10 victories in 11 games, they’ve built a commanding lead atop the PKL 12 table and continue to look unstoppable.
The Jaipur clash highlighted Delhi’s squad depth. Even as Ashu Malik endured his poorest outing of the season (8 raid points, 47% SR), the defence stepped up with 13 tackle points at an incredible 87% success rate — anchored by Sandeep’s flawless 7-point High 5.
Neeraj Narwal’s rise as a consistent second raider (51 raid points, 4.6 average, 44% SR) has added balance and eased pressure on Ashu, giving Delhi tactical flexibility in attack. Their only defeat — a narrow 3-point loss to Patna Pirates — increasingly looks like a one-off in an otherwise dominant campaign.
Dabang Delhi’s Defensive Fortress
Delhi’s defence remains the most complete unit of the season. Their 48% tackle strike rate tops the league, while an average of 11.5 tackle points per match underlines both precision and productivity.
Defensive stats:
Fazel Atrachali: 34 points (avg 3.1, 62% SR, 3 High 5s, 19 assists)
Saurabh Nandal: 28 points (avg 2.5, 58% SR, 1 High 5, 12 assists)
Surjeet Singh: 22 points (avg 2.0, 35% SR, 40 assists)
Sandeep: 18 points (avg 1.6, 43% SR, 1 High 5, 43 assists)
Their high assist counts highlight superb teamwork — Surjeet and Sandeep consistently create space for the corners to strike. Fazel’s personal record against Haryana is outstanding: 57 tackle points at 58% SR across 19 matches.
If Delhi’s defenders replicate their Jaipur form, Haryana’s under-pressure raiders could face another long night, setting Delhi up for a fifth straight win.
Haryana Steelers vs Dabang Delhi (HAR vs DEL) Head to Head
Overall, the head-to-head record between the two teams remains closely contested. In 17 encounters, Haryana Steelers hold a narrow edge with 9 wins, while Dabang Delhi K.C. have emerged victorious 8 times, reflecting the evenly matched rivalry between the sides.
