After a strong start to the season, the team is set to face a high-scoring Hyderabad side on April 11. PBKS are confident in their bowling attack's ability to contain SRH's aggressive batting.

Middle-order batter Shashank Singh said the team has analysed Hyderabad’s key players thoroughly. “We have a lot of confidence in our bowling because we have bowled very well in the powerplay so far. We have the perfect matchups for the batting Hyderabad has, and our plans are ready. Arshdeep has played a lot with their openers in domestic cricket and for India, so he knows exactly how to go about it. We are focusing on our execution to ensure we do well tomorrow,” he stated at a pre-match press conference.

Shashank also emphasised the internal team culture, highlighting how players strive to impress each other rather than concentrating on external statistics. “We don’t really think about stats. As Shreyas (Iyer) said in a recent interview, we look to impress each other within the team. Our bowling unit wants to dominate every match, and we are backing our own strengths rather than thinking too much about the opposition,” he added.

Discussing his role as a finisher, Shashank described the importance of mental composure. “At this number, keeping belief is the most important thing. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will. My role is to stay calm and keep a clear mind because the clearer we are, the better the results will be for the team,” he said.

Punjab Kings have won their first two matches this season, with convincing victories over Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. Their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders was abandoned due to rain.

The match against Sunrisers Hyderabad will take place at 3:30 PM IST on April 11 at the New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh.
