Nitin Rawal vs Vinay

Nitin Rawal has been one of the top-performing defenders in the league in PKL 11. He is leading the charts for the most number of tackle points (43). Rawal will be responsible for keeping a check on the Haryana Steelers’ frontline, especially Vinay. His strong defensive acumen will come in very handy for the Bulls in the fixture.

But, standing in his way will be Vinay who has been the best raider for the Steelers this season. Vinay has been firing on all cylinders and has secured valuable points for his side in PKL 11. His quick touches and swift moves on the mat make him one of the key players for the Steelers. He has scored 72 raid points with a strike rate of nearly 50%.

Pardeep Narwal vs Mohammadreza Shadloui

Pardeep Narwal, the league’s record top scorer in PKL history has slowly regained his form after a dismal start to the season. The record breaker has managed to become the top scorer for the Bulls with 53 raid points in ten games in PKL 11. His Dubkis and flamboyant moves on the mat will come in as an added advantage for the Bulls.

Mohammadreza Shadloui will have the responsibility to stop Pardeep Narwal and neutralize the danger that he will bring to the table. Shadloui has been the best all-rounder this season and has justified his hefty price tag. He has contributed on both ends of the mat and has accumulated 69 points in the process in PKL 11.

Ajinkya Pawar vs Rahul Sethpal

Ajinkya Pawar has been one of the top performers for the Bengaluru Bulls in PKL 11. He has shown up on big occasions and has scored crucial points. Pawar’s all-round abilities have come in very handy for the Bulls in key moments. He will hope to add more points to his tally of 51 points. His strong reading prowess makes him one of the major threats for the Steelers.

Rahul Sethpal on the other hand has been one of the top defenders in the league this season. He has led the Steelers’ backline with perfection and will hope to continue with the same momentum. His strong leadership abilities alongside his great defensive knowledge could be the telling factor for the Steelers.
