Mohit and Mohit Nandal's four points apiece and a defence that took an outstanding 14 tackle points roused the Haryana Steelers to fourth on the table.

Narwal became the first player to record 80 Super 10s in PKL during U.P. Yoddhas' match against Haryana Steelers in Ahmedabad.
U Mumba will take positives from the match despite the defeat with Arjun Deshwal impressing with a career-best tally of 14 raid points (15 in total).
Ajith Kumar got to his Super 10 in the final minutes and ensured the Thalaivas lost with a margin less than seven points but coach E Bhaskaran will be left with a lot to wonder as his side suffered a fifth straight loss.
The high-scoring contest belonged to the raiders with Kandola and Maninder Singh of Bengal Warriors securing Super 10s, which is awarded to raiders who score 10 or more raid points, as the defenders struggled to get a stranglehold of the match.
Shrikant Jadhav (7 points) and surprise-inclusion in the team, Surender Gill (8 points), were the stars for Yoddha as they climbed to 8th in the league standings.
Despite the All-Out, Steelers continued to play with confidence as both sides began scoring freely at the start of the last quarter.
