PKL 9: Haryana Steelers look to continue winning streak as they take on Patna Pirates

The
raiding
combination
of
Meetu
and
Manjeet
fought
till
the
end
against
Yoddhas,
as
they
managed
to
push
the
match
to
a
tie,
earning
three
points
for
their
team
in
the
contest.

In
their
last
four
games,
the
JSW
Sports-owned
franchise
has
picked
up
two
wins
and
two
draws.
Hoping
to
continue
the
unbeaten
streak
in
their
next
game,
Steelers’ in-form
all-rounder
Nitin
Rawal,
who
has
been
donning
the
captain’s
armband
for
the
past
few
games
said,
“We
lost
some
matches
at
the
start
of
the
season
by
small
margins,
and
now
we
are
winning
continuously
or
drawing
matches.
So,
the
morale
of
the
team
is
high
and
our
coach
also
always
keeps
us
motivated
as
well.”

He
added,
“We
have
learned
from
our
mistakes
in
the
last
few
matches.
Our
coach
focused
on
the
problems
and
we
have
worked
hard
on
the
training
to
solve
them.
Now
the
results
are
coming
through.”

Patna
Pirates
also
have
had
their
fair
share
of
close
encounters
this
season,
but
will
be
confident
entering
into
the
contest,
having
won
their
three
previous
matches.
Nitin
Rawal
also
insisted
that
the
Steelers
will
be
ready
for
whatever
the
opposition
has
in
store
for
them.

“Patna
Pirates
are
a
really
good
team
and
we
will
play
as
per
the
situation
of
the
match.
Our
focus
will
be
on
delivering
a
good
performance
against
them,”
Rawal
said.

Sachin,
the
in-form
raider
has
been
the
key
player
for
the
Pirates
in
their
previous
three
games.
However,
Nitin
Rawal
stated
that
they
are
not
focused
on
any
particular
player
in
the
opposition
camp.

“We
don’t
believe
that
any
particular
player
could
be
dangerous
for
us.
We
play
according
to
our
coaches’ plans,
and
the
strategies
he
puts
in
place.
We’ve
watched
videos
of
the
Pirates’
matches
to
analyse
their
weaknesses
and
our
coach
made
plans
to
counter
every
player
of
their
team.”

Nitin
Rawal
also
praised
Manjeet
and
Meetu,
who
have
been
in
top
form
this
season,
and
added
that
the
duo
will
be
key
for
the
team
in
the
encounter.

“Manjeet
and
Meetu
played
well
even
in
the
encounters
where
we
didn’t
get
the
results
we
wanted.
We
were
just
unlucky
in
those
matches
at
the
start
of
the
season.
They
are
both
key
players
and
if
they
keep
playing
well
in
the
league
then
I
am
sure
that
we
will
keep
winning,”
he
concluded.

Haryana
Steelers
will
take
on
Patna
Pirates
in
the
second
match
of
the
evening
on
Monday
at
8.30
PM.
