Lucknow: Punjab Kings (PBKS) began their season on a promising note with an 11-run win over Gujarat Titans in their opening contest. The Shreyas Iyer's side will return to action after a gap of seven days to face off against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday. But while a long break in a short-format tournament could halt momentum, Punjab Kings camp believes the time gap has allowed them to adapt and evolve to conditions.
"It has been a slower start to the tournament for us this season game-wise. It gives us the advantage to prepare our skills for our next challenge. We know it will be a spin heavy night tomorrow. We did not have that in our first game. The guys have been preparing for the same over the last few days. The beauty of the seven-day gap is that we had time to prepare for it," fast bowling coach James Hopes said at the pre-match press conference on Monday. IANS
