Coach MK Kaushik felt it’s high time his boys registered a victory. “Tomorrow’s match against Punjab is crucial and we have to play to win the match. We will try and overcome the areas that we have been lacking in and improve ourselves,” Kaushik said here yesterday.
Warriors, meanwhile, are keen to keep up their fine run in the tournament — they’ve won three out of the five games. “We’ve had a bit of a break after our last game against Uttar Pradesh Wizards. It’ll be a challenge for us to regain the same intensity as we had in the first part of the tournament. But we’ve always done well against the Magicians and we’ll try to keep our good run against them,” said Punjab skipper Jamie Dwyer.
