Fireworks await as the Haryana Steelers and Patna Pirates prepare to clash in the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) final on Sunday, December 29, at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune. Both teams have fought tooth and nail in their semi-finals to earn a spot in this highly anticipated finale.

Haryana Steelers edged past UP Yoddhas in a thrilling 28-25 encounter. Shivam Patare, Vinay, and Mohammadreza Shadloui delivered standout performances, while a pivotal ALL OUT in the second half turned the tide in their favour.

Devank and Ayan spearheaded the raids, while Shubham Shinde’s High-5 and Ankit’s crucial defensive plays sealed the victory.
