Punjab Kings aim to return to winning ways against Sunrisers Hyderabad, with assistant coach Brad Haddin expressing confidence in the team’s form. PBKS, currently top of the table, are focused on delivering a complete performance.
Hyderabad, May 5: Punjab Kings (PBKS) are focused on returning to their winning ways as they face Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow, May 6, in the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite two narrow losses recently, the Kings remain at the top of the table with 13 points and are focused on playing their best cricket as the season enters its final weeks.
Speaking ahead of the match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Assistant Coach Brad Haddin said the team is taking a lot of confidence from how the middle order has stepped up. He pointed to the recent performance of Suryansh Shedge, who hit a fearless 57 off 29 balls against Gujarat Titans, as a big positive for the squad's depth.
Middle order gains confidence
"The partnership of Stoinis and Suryansh, we thought was really good in the circumstances of the game under pressure. Suryansh was—wow. Not so much the score, but the manner in which he got the runs under pressure. He got through the difficult time when he was ten off ten balls and then accelerated. We know how explosive our top order is, but now our middle order is starting to get some time together and get some form," Haddin said.
