PKL 11 Semifinal 1: Haryana Steelers vs UP Yoddhas Predicted 7, team news, head-to-head & free live stream

Both sides have defeated each other once this season.

UP Yoddhas ran riot against the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the first Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) eliminator and have secured a semifinal berth for themselves in the process. The Yoddhas will now face off against the league leaders and title favourites Haryana Steelers in the first semifinal on Friday. It is going to be a do-or-die game for both sides because there’s no margin for error.

Haryana Steelers definitely come into this game as the favourites, but they have lost two of their last three games coming into this fixture, including a humiliating defeat to the UP Yoddhas. Both sides have defeated each other once this season across two league games and are well aware of each other’s style of play. We are definitely in for a blockbuster of a contest in PKL 11.
