After a cherished stint as the runaway leader, Punjab Kings has seen its surge grind to a halt in recent outings. Despite signs of vulnerability creeping in, assistant coach Brad Haddin struck an upbeat tone ahead of the clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad.<\/p>\n

\u201cTournament cricket is all about playing your best right at the end and that\u2019s what we\u2019re striving for all the time. We\u2019re striving for that perfect result and that perfect game. When we do find that, we\u2019ll be a hard team to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n

While results haven\u2019t gone PBKS\u2019 way recently, Haddin insisted there are positives within the group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst Gujarat Titans, we didn\u2019t get the result but we got ourselves right back into the game and fought right to the end. There are some good signs out there with the ball in the field that we\u2019re all happy about. The partnership of Marcus Stoinis and Suryansh Shedge was really good in the circumstances of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haddin dismissed concerns over over-reliance on the top order and backed the team\u2019s aggressive approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to find ways to limit (them in the) the PowerPlay. A lot comes back to how effective you are with the new ball \u2013 that\u2019s both with ball and bat. At this stage of the tournament, you want to start stringing good games together and off the back of those good games, you want to start getting results.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the gameplan against SRH, he quipped: \u201cGet early wickets. Don\u2019t let Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma bat too long.\u201d<\/p>\n
