In <strong>Match 98<\/strong>, we\u2019ll see two kabaddi giants \u2014 <strong>U Mumba<\/strong> and <strong>Haryana Steelers<\/strong> \u2014 lock horns on <strong>Sunday, 19th October 2025<\/strong>, at <strong>8:30 PM IST<\/strong>, at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/venue\/thyagaraj-indoor-stadium-delhi\/\" data-type=\"sp_venue\" data-id=\"31\">Thyagaraja Indoor Stadium, Delhi<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams are former champions and have equal points and equal number of wins. This match will not only decide who qualifies for the playoffs but may also influence the top-4 standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current Standings and Recent Form<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/haryana-steelers\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1699\">Haryana Steelers<\/a><\/strong>, the defending champions of the Pro Kabaddi League, have finally bounced back after a rough patch. They have managed to break their losing streak by picking up back-to-back wins in the Delhi leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/team\/u-mumba\/\" data-type=\"sp_team\" data-id=\"1705\">U Mumba<\/a><\/strong> are also coming off a confident win against <strong>Telugu Titans<\/strong>, showing signs of momentum at the right time. Both teams have played <strong>15 matches<\/strong> each and have <strong>8 wins<\/strong> and <strong>16 points<\/strong>. The only difference is the <strong>score difference<\/strong> \u2014 <strong>Haryana has +11<\/strong> while <strong>U Mumba has +10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both teams are just outside the top 4, and a win here could propel them into a much <strong>stronger playoff position<\/strong>. It&#8217;s do-or-die for both, and fans can expect a cracking contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>U Mumba vs Haryana Steelers Head-to-Head Record<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These two sides have faced each other <strong>18 times<\/strong> in the PKL so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>U Mumba Wins:<\/strong> 7<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Haryana Steelers Wins:<\/strong> 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ties:<\/strong> 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more interesting is that <strong>U Mumba have not beaten Haryana Steelers in their last 6 encounters<\/strong>. This clearly gives the Steelers a psychological edge going into this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Players to Watch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ajit Chouhan (<strong>U Mumba<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ajit Chouhan, the young left raider, had a quiet first half of the season but has made a strong comeback in the recent matches. He scored <strong>8 points<\/strong> in a <strong>Super 10<\/strong> performance against Haryana Steelers earlier this season and will look to repeat that effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than the points, U Mumba fans will be hoping Ajit can finally break the losing streak against Haryana and help his side reach the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shivam Patare (Haryana Steelers)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to rising to the occasion, <strong>Shivam Patare<\/strong> has become a match-winner for Haryana Steelers. In their last game against UP Yoddhas, he absolutely dominated with <strong>15 points<\/strong> \u2013 the highest individual score of that match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also made a big impact earlier in the season with a game-changing super raid in the tie-breaker. Along with Vinay, Shivam has formed a reliable raiding pair that\u2019s difficult to stop once they get going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Probable Starting 7s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>U Mumba:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sandeep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amirmohammad Zafardanesh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parvesh Bhainswal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunil Kumar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ajit Chouhan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinku Sharma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vijay Kumar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Haryana Steelers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sahil Narwal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vinay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shivam Patare<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rahul Sethpal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hardeep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neeraj<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jaideep Dahiya<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Expect from This Match?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This game is expected to be a nail-biter. With both teams equal in points and performance, there\u2019s literally nothing separating them except a <strong>1-point score difference<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haryana Steelers will enter with high confidence due to their recent wins and dominant record against U Mumba. However, Mumba are no pushovers \u2014 their experienced defensive unit and comeback form make them dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect a <strong>high-scoring, physical game<\/strong> with plenty of raids, do-or-die moments, and possibly a last-minute thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Match Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Haryana Steelers look slightly stronger coming into the game with better team synergy and recent momentum. Their dominance over U Mumba in recent encounters also plays a big psychological role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Predicted Winner: Haryana Steelers (in a close finish)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don\u2019t be surprised if U Mumba pull off a surprise \u2014 especially if Ajit and Zafardanesh perform at their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Watch U Mumba vs Haryana Steelers Live?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans can catch the live kabaddi action on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TV Broadcast:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kabaddiarena.com\/en\/watch-pro-kabaddi-live-on-mobile-and-tv-channels-app\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1680\">Star Sports Network<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Live Streaming:<\/strong> JioHotstar app &amp; website (Free)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Live Score &amp; Updates:<\/strong> Pro Kabaddi Official Website and Mobile App<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not just another kabaddi match \u2014 it&#8217;s a <strong>virtual playoff<\/strong>, and both teams know what&#8217;s at stake.
