We are going to do it the hard way: Punjab Kings bowling coach Hopes
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|May 31, 2025
Acknowledging that the recklessness of the batting unit during Thursday's first qualifier against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) cost them a direct entry to the IPL 2025 final, Punjab Kings fast bowling coach James Hopes is optimistic that the side will bounce back in the second qualifier on Sunday.
After a largely smooth and consistent IPL 2025 campaign, Punjab Kings (PBKS) stumbled in the first qualifier, suffering a crushing 8-wicket defeat to RCB at their home ground in Mullanpur. Put to bat first, the Kings lost early wickets and only managed to post 101 runs on the board, with 35 balls still remaining. RCB, on the other hand, chased the total in just 10 overs, while giving away only two wickets to secure a place in the IPL 2025 final.
The loss means PBKS must now take the longer route to the final via the second qualifier. The Shreyas Iyer-led outfit will take on the winner of the Eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans in the second qualifier in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
