Haryana Steelers vs Jaipur Pink Panthers (HAR vs JAI) 57th Match Preview - PKL 2025
Haryana Steelers Preview
Recent Form:
After opening PKL 12 with a loss to Bengal Warriorz, Haryana Steelers have turned their season around with four consecutive wins before a narrow 37–38 defeat to Dabang Delhi K.C. Currently 4th, they have 5 wins from 7 matches, positioning themselves as genuine playoff contenders.
Raiding Strength:Shivam Patare and Vinay have stepped up in Naveen Kumar’s absence, leading a raiding unit averaging 23.1 points per match at 56% success. Support raiders, however, remain inconsistent, contributing just ~5 points per match combined, highlighting a key vulnerability.
Defensive Backbone:Haryana boasts one of PKL 12’s strongest defences, averaging 10.9 tackle points per match (42% success). Wins and losses correlate sharply with defensive performance: 12.0 tackle points in victories vs 7.3 in defeats. Veterans Jaideep (66% SR) and Rahul Sethpal (56% SR) anchor the unit.
Coaching Edge:
Manpreet Singh, PKL’s most decorated coach, brings extensive experience with 100 wins from 174 matches (58% win rate) and five playoff appearances, including the PKL 11 title with Haryana.
Key Insight:Steelers’ playoff hopes hinge on maintaining raiding firepower from Patare and Vinay while keeping defensive performance high. Any dip in form or injuries to these pillars could threaten their momentum.
Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview
Recent Form:
Jaipur Pink Panthers have won 3 of their last 5 matches but were halted by a heavy 28–37 loss to Tamil Thalaivas. Their inconsistency stems from structural issues—attacking brilliance offset by defensive fragility.
Raiding Strength:
Nitin Kumar has emerged as a star, scoring 7 Super 10s in 9 matches and establishing himself among the league’s elite raiders.’
Defensive Weakness:
Defense remains a critical vulnerability. The Panthers average just 8.9 tackle points per match at 39% success, ranking as the league’s third-worst unit. No defender has recorded a High 5 this season. While recent matches show slight improvement, inconsistencies persist. Reza Mirbagheri stands out with 19 tackle points (51% SR), but veterans Nitin Rawal and others must regain form to stabilize the unit.
Key Insight:
Jaipur’s playoff hopes hinge on converting Nitin Kumar’s attacking dominance into wins by shoring up the defense. Without coordinated defensive improvements, deeper tournament progression will remain difficult.
