Haryana Steelers are at fourth position on the points table after their win against UP Yoddha as they won 36-33 in a close encounter last night. Haryana Steelers’ both the department contributed equally to the win. Even though the first points of the game went into UP Yoddha’s account they were unable to avoid an early all-out. UP Yoddha got back into the game in the second half when they managed to inflict an all-out onto Haryana Steelers despite Naveen’s best effort to save them. Haryana was able to recover quickly from the all-out and as a result, they won the game. 

“No, there wasn’t any pressure because we were told not to take unnecessary pressure on ourselves as doing that could work to the detriment of the team. We knew if we could get three points by inflicting an All-Out in the end then we’d be on top and that’s what we did,” Vikas Kandola said.

“Yes, it’s very good that we won today. It definitely helps our confidence a lot. In the first three matches we weren’t settled and played a bit loose. But now we’re set, and we’ll keep giving our best performances for the team in an attempt to get to the top (of the standings),” Cherlathan said when asked about the weather the win affected team’s confidence.
