Hello and welcome to the highlights from Sportstar’s coverage of the Haryana Steelers vs UP Yoddhas game.
Scores read Haryana vs UP:
Full Time: U.P. Yoddhas will be disappointed today. It let go a 12-point lead and allowed a window in for Haryana Steelers. Meetu Sharma produced some brilliant raid points to help Steelers claw back into the game. Pardeep Narwal was slow to get going for the Yoddhas which added to the trouble. Steelers coach Manpreet felt his side was robbed of points but he’ll have to stay content with three points for the night.
36-36: Meetu plays the last raid of the game and is not able to win the point. The game ends in a tie.
Manpreet was joyous once the point was given to Steelers. But the subsequent call to give Yoddhas a point too has left hom despondent.
36-36: Do-or-die raid it is Surender Gill attempting a point, and this time the Steelers pull him back. A point for Steelers but Yoddhas too gets a point for a defender going beyond mid line.
35-35: Meetu is confident that he has a point. He thumps his thigh and makes his way back. He is proven right as the refs award a point to Steelers. Scores level now. Just a minute to go.

31-34: Meetu is nearly able to pull off a massive raid for Steelers but not quite. Three points in the game.

PREVIEW
HARYANA STEELERS
Unbeaten in its last three matches, Haryana Steelers will be looking to keep things that way when they face U.P. Yoddhas. The Steelers have one tie, four wins and just as many losses from their nine matches this season. They will be hoping that their main raiders Meetu Sharma and Manjeet are on song against a formidable Yoddhas defensive unit. While Meetu Sharma has scored 75 raid points this season, Manjeet has managed 62 raid points. As far as their defence goes, Jaideep Dahiya has been their top performer with 26 tackle points, while Mohit Nandal and Amirhossein Bastami have contributed 20 and 15 tackle points respectively. All-rounder Nitin Rawal has chipped in with 14 tackle points as well.
UP YODDHAS
U.P. Yoddhas’ inconsistent start to the season continued after a loss to Puneri Paltan last night. They have won four games and lost five so far in Season 9. To get the better of Haryana Steelers, the Yoddhas will need their best raiders this season Surender Gill (94 raid points) and Pardeep Narwal (84 raid points) to be at their best. However, their defence will need to be on top of their game as well. The likes of Ashu Singh (28 tackle points), Sumit (22 tackle points) and Nitesh Kumar (16 tackle points) also have to be in top gear if the Yoddhas are to secure a much-needed win.
