SONEPAT: Haryana Steelers ended their home leg with a hard-fought 34-31 win over Dabang Delhi KC in the Pro Kabaddi League here on Thursday. It was an impressive team performanc­e by Haryana, ending a four-match losing streak. Vikas Kandola came up with crucial raids and got able support from Monu Goyat and Naveen Kumar.

Dabang Delhi didn’t do much wrong but failed to capitalise on opportunit­ies. Their star player Meraj Sheykh had a disappoint­ing match and scored just two points.

Haryana Steelers’ defence did a fine job on Delhi raiders as they led for the majority of the first half.

With less than 10 minutes to go, the match was evenly poised as Haryana Steelers had a twopoint advantage. Vikas Kandola made a super raid in the 32nd minute as Haryana Steelers led 28-22 before sealing victory.
