PKL 11 Highlights: Patna Pirates, Haryana Steelers reach Final – Updates, Scores, Blog

33' - Steelers happy to run the clock down

The Steelers have a four-point lead with just under seven minutes left and they are more than happy to run the clock down and play solely on do-or-die. The Yoddhas, meanwhile, have started to show some urgency.

UP 19-23 Haryana

31' - Yoddhas fight back

A couple of quick points in both departments for the UP Yoddhas and this is now a three-point game. Haryana Steelers need to ensure they don't get carried away.

UP 18-21 Haryana

11 unsuccessful tackles for the Yoddhas compared to Steelers' six. Precisely what has been the difference between the two teams so far. The UP Yoddhas need to tighten their defence to stand any chance.

 

25' - The Steelers are building on their lead

The Haryana Steelers are slowly but steadily building on their lead as the Yoddhas continue to err. Only a matter of time before the Yoddhas get desperate.

22' - UP Yoddhas, ALL OUT!

The Yoddhas were down to three men at the end of the first half and the Steelers cash in almost immediately. They are now hunting in pack are the Steelers, but this is still anybody's game.

HALF TIME!

End of 20 minutes of play and this has been evenly matched. The Yoddhas are down to three men and will have some work to do post the interval. 

Both teams have been very strategic so far, but they'll have to switch gears sooner than later. We might have a very exciting second half in store.

UP 11-12 Haryana

17' - Shadloui is struggling

Haryana Steelers' ace defender Shadloui has had a forgettable evening so far. Just one successful tackle out of four attempts and he goes out once again.

UP 11-10 Haryana

15' - Haryana with the lead

Still a slow game with long empty raids. Ashu with a failed dash and Haryana gets the lead.

UP 7-8 Haryana

11' - Game slowed down

This game has slowed down drastically after that exciting start, with both teams happy to bide their time and take it to do-or-die raids. It is time for the first timeout of the match and honestly not a lot to separate the two teams at this point.
