Punjab team ready for the match
At the same time, bowling coach Sunil Joshi said that his Punjab Kings team is fully prepared. They will perform well in the field today. Let us tell you that their home ground Mullanpur Cricket Stadium was not lucky for Punjab Kings last season. The team’s winning percentage in this ground was only 20%. In such a situation, this time the team will be under pressure on the new captain Shreyas Iyer to perform well in the home ground.
Punjab Kings won only 5 matches
Punjab Kings have won very few matches in their home ground. Last season also, the team had won 10 points by winning only 5 out of 14 matches. Of these, they had to face defeat in both the matches played in Dharamsala.
