Team News - U Mumba
U Mumba have a well-set lineup ahead of the playoffs led by their defence which seems solid except for the left cover position which is expected to be occupied by Young Chang Ko. Abhishek Singh is expected to lead the raiding department along with Arjun Deshwal while Rohit Baliyan provides backup. Ajinkya Kapre has shined and even he can make an appearance from the bench.
Predicted Starting 7: Fazel Atrachali (C), Sandeep Narwal, Surinder Singh, Young Chang Ko, Rohit Baliyan, Arjun Deshwal and Abhishek Singh.
Team News - Haryana Steelers
The Steelers did very well this season after a slow start and the arrival of star raider Vikash Khandola sparked a tremendous run of games for them. With Prashanth Kumar Rai and Vinay doing pretty well too, it will be a brilliant contest between this solid raiding unit and the U Mumba defence.
In defence, skipper Dharmaraj Cheralathan's switch to the left corner early on in the season reaped heavy rewards as Sunil thrived in the right corner and cemented his position. Ravi Kumar and the somewhat shaky Vikas Kale form the cover combination.
Predicted Starting 7: Dharmaraj Cheralathan (C), Vikash Khandola, Prashanth Kumar Rai, Vinay, Vikas Kale, Ravi Kumar and Sunil.
Dream11 Fantasy Tips
Raiders: Abhishek Singh, Arjun Deshwal, Rohit Baliyan, Vikash Khandola, Vinay and Prashanth Kumar Rai are the six raiding options available for this match.

All-Rounders: Sandeep Narwal is the only all-rounder pegged on for a start and he should be backed.
Defenders: Fazel Atrachali, Surinder Singh, Sunil, Dharmaraj Cheralathan and Vikas Kale are the premium defenders while Ravi Kumar and Young Chang Ko offer options at a cheaper price.
