"They've got match winners everywhere" - PBKS' assistant coach Brad Haddin on LSG's lineup

PBKS' assistant coach Brad Haddin weighed in on Lucknow's playing XI ahead of Sunday's clash. The former Australian wicketkeeper-batter reckons LSG have match-winners throughout their lineup, who can take the game away in two to three overs.

Haddin said as quoted by Cricbuzz:

"They've got match winners everywhere. You just have to look at their batting. They've got guys that, if we're not on song, can take the game away from us inside three or four overs. They've got some genuine pace coming back now with the ball. They're starting to get the full complement of players. It's a big game for both teams but the one thing they have, they've got some star power across the whole team."
