Bengal Warriors vs Haryana Steelers Match Preview: 

Defending champions Bengal Warriors have had a rather mixed start to their Pro Kabaddi League season 8 campaign. With three wins and three losses in six games, the Warriors are sitting on the sixth spot in the points table. However, the Bengal Warriors have managed to win only one out of their last four matches. 

Haryana Steelers are placed seventh on the points table, just below Jaipur Pink Panthers with two wins, three losses and one tied game in the six matches they have played. Steelers, however, have been undefeated in their last two fixtures including an intense tie against U Mumba by 24-24. 

Bengal Warriors may seem finally back on track with their win in the last fixture after three back-to-back defeats. Warriors’ over-dependency on the duo of Maninder Singh and Nabibakhsh is visible as these two scored 74% of the points for Bengal Warriors in their fixture against Jaipur Pink Panthers. Bengal coach MC Ramesh was surely missing support raider, Sukesh Hegde, in the last match. 

Haryana Steelers turned things around at the last minute as they managed a tie against U Mumba in a low-scoring thriller. Haryana’s star all-rounder Rohit Gulia is back in form after scoring 1/3rd of the team’s total in their previous fixture.
