PKL 2021: Haryana Steelers v/s U Mumba - Preview, Expected 7, Live streaming, Players to Watch out, Head to head, Key battle
All you need to know about match number 32 of PKL 2021 between Haryana Steelers and U Mumba.
V Ajith and Jaideep Kuldeep
Haryana Steelers versus U Mumba is a battle between two young coaches who are yet to hit their forties. Rakesh Kumar will be expecting his Dhakad Boys to outperform his former side in match number 32 of PKL 2021. So let's have a look at the detailed preview of the clash between dynamic U Mumba and robust Haryana Steelers.
Strategic Takeaways
Only Dabang Delhi KC has managed to strike down U Mumba so far. Newcomer right corner Rinku's confidence must be sky-high after subduing Pardeep Narwal previously. Coach Rajaguru might be worried about Mumba's panicked antics in crucial situations as such mistakes led them to settle for ties, two times in the last three games. Haryana Steelers breached the defensive fortress of Gujarat Giants in the previous fixture and Rakesh Kumar will be hoping to continue the same rhythm.
Head to Head
U Mumba leads the head-to-head count against Dhakad Boys with a hefty margin. Haryana's season seven campaign came to an end after being eliminated by U Mumba in Eliminator 2. Abhishek Singh and Vikash Kandola are strike raiders for their respective franchises, both of them have a Super 10 from their last meeting. Club legend Surender Nada will be up against his former side where he touched his career peak.
