Punjab Kings’ diminishing Powerplay returns
PBKS’ aggressive Powerplay approach was one of their key positives in the first season of this IPL cycle - they scored at 9.20 in Overs 1-6 in 2022, the highest scoring rate in the competition.
This season however they’ve dropped down to 7.61 runs per over, the slowest among the 10 sides in the competition.
Their poor returns have been particularly prevalent in recent games at Mullanpur, with scores of 27-3 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and 40-4 against Mumbai Indians and a switch in the order, dropping Bairstow for Rossouw and opening with Sam Curran, didn’t seem to be the answer during that fixture.
How do they address this moving forward to leave a better platform for the Middle Order?
