PKL 12 Highlights: Haryana Steelers lost to Jaipur Pink Panthers | U Mumba beat Tamil Thalaivas

The Chennai leg of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) got off to an exciting start with thrilling matches taking place on the first two days.

Wednesday promises to be yet another feast as inaugural champions Jaipur Pink Panthers will look to steal two points from the defending champions Haryana Steelers. Pink Panthers were beaten handsomely, with Arjun Deshwal doing the bulk of the scoring.

It was a test of their defense, and the chinks in it were heavily exposed. On the other hand, Haryana Steelers refused to shake hands with Delhi in their previous clash. Both teams would want to get their act right and start their October season with a win.

Haryana Steelers vs Jaipur Pink Panthers head-to-head:

• Matches: 17
• Jaipur Pink Panthers: 9
• Haryana Steelers: 6
• Tie: 2

Tamil Thalaivas will return to their home turf after two years. They will face Season two champions U Mumba in match 58 of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) in Chennai. U Mumba defeated Thalaivas in their first encounter in PKL 2025.

This rivalry is not as fierce as it is in the Indian Premier League, but surely both teams have a purpose to achieve on Wednesday. The Home team would want to start their home leg with a win. It has been a topsy-turvy season, and a win here would be crucial for their qualification.

On the other hand, the last few games have been tough for U Mumba. They have lost games from winning positions, and nothing is more demoralising than losing games in tiebreakers. They would want to get back to winning ways against the Thalaivas.

U Mumba vs Tamil Thalaivas head-to-head:

• Matches: 14
• U Mumba: 10
• Tamil Thalaivas: 3
• Tie: 1
