Pro Kabaddi 2024, HAR vs DEL: Preview, probable starting 7s, prediction, and live-streaming details for Haryana Steelers vs Dabang Delhi KC
The 21st match of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2024 brings the excitement of the Northern Derby as Haryana Steelers face off against Dabang Delhi KC. The eagerly anticipated clash between two northern heavyweights is set for October 28 at Hyderabad’s Gachibowli Indoor Stadium.
PKL 10 runners-up Haryana Steelers kicked off their Season 11 campaign against strong competitors, facing Puneri Paltan and Jaipur Pink Panthers. In their season opener, Haryana struggled to keep up with Puneri Paltan, suffering a 35-25 loss. However, they bounced back with an impressive win against the Jaipur Pink Panthers, securing a 37-25 victory. This all-around performance saw raider Vinay achieve a Super 10, ably supported by Shivam Patare.
The Steelers' defense played a crucial role in this win, managing to contain Jaipur’s formidable raider, Arjun Deshwal. Despite Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh's off day, the defensive combination of stand-in captain Rahul Sethpal and Naveen held strong, each picking up three tackle points. Haryana now look to carry this momentum forward and improve on their tactical execution.
Dabang Delhi KC holds the fifth spot on the points table with two wins and one loss, collecting 11 points. They started their season with a victory over U Mumba, only to fall short in their next match against UP Yoddhas. However, their recent 41-37 triumph over Telugu Titans has boosted their morale.
The match highlighted the return of “Naveen Express” Naveen Kumar, who scored an impressive 15 raid points. Ashu Malik matched his teammate’s performance with another 15 raid points. The defense, however, remains an area of concern, as Delhi managed only five tackle points in the match. With their raiding strength re-established, Delhi’s focus will shift toward shoring up their defensive setup as they gear up to face Haryana.

Haryana Steelers vs Dabang Delhi KC Match Prediction
The match is expected to be closely contested, with Haryana’s balanced approach against Delhi’s explosive raiding power. Haryana’s defense could prove decisive, especially if Shadloui Chiyaneh and Rahul Sethpal manage to restrict Naveen Kumar and Ashu Malik. On the other hand, if Delhi’s raiders find their rhythm early, they may overpower Haryana’s defense.
Prediction: Haryana Steelers to edge out Dabang Delhi KC in a tight match.
