Punjab Kings skipper KL Rahul on Saturday said the narrow five-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match here has given them the self-belief that the bowlers can restrict any opposition if they have decent runs on the board. Sent in to bat, Punjab Kings could manage 125 for 7 on a slow wicket but the bowlers produced a clinical performance to restrict SRH to 120 for 7 in 20 overs and keep their IPL play-off hopes alive.

"We wanted to get another 20-30 more runs but we`ll take the win. It gives us a belief that no matter what the situation is, our bowlers can get the opposition out if we get a decent score," KL Rahul said in the post-match presentation. "(Mohammed) Shami to start of, bowled really well, getting two big batters in (David) Warner and (Kane) Williamson. Made it easier for our spinners to settle into a nice line and length."
