Puneri Paltan vs Haryana Steelers, PKL final: Toss
It is always a given in Kabaddi, that the side winning the toss, chooses the court, instead of a raid. This is done to have an undue advantage at the start of the second half. The side choosing the court after winning the toss comes out first to raid at the start of the second half.
As we humans do not have a hold of our futures, the first raid after half-time could sometimes favour the team, leading to an all-out of the opposition, or saving themselves from conceding one.
Puneri Paltan vs Haryana Steelers: Prediction for PKL FINAL
Puneri Paltan would be a massive favourite to lift the silverware at the PKL 10 final. Paltan finished at the summit of the PKL points table at the end of the group stages. The team led by Aslam Inamdar, scored a record-high 96 points from 22 group games.
This Pune team has seen the lowest of lows, at the Season 9 PKL Final. A couple of tweaks in, and the team is now the favourite to lift their maiden PKL Title. Having experienced the loss a year ago, the Paltan are well-built for the occasion.
That being said, the Haryana Steelers' have plotted a journey written in the stars. Manpreet Singh & Co. finished fifth on the points table, with 70 points from 22 games. The Steelers outshone the likes of Gujarat Giants and Jaipur Pink Panthers - two teams who had finished above them on the points table.
Manpreet Singh has felt the pressure of the PKL final and also overcame it in the past. His leadership and grit would be enough for his boys to outdo the best PKL side of the season. We should not forget that the Haryana Steelers have already had their number on Puneri Paltan, once in the ongoing season. Haryana beat Paltan by 44-39 in their backyard in Pune.
The defensive unit of the Haryana Steelers would be tested against the raiding prowess of the ever-so-efficient, Puneri Paltan. In every way, it is expected to be an edge-of-the-seat ending to this four-month spectacle.
