Pat Cummins Reflects On SRH’s Loss
After the match SRH skipper reflected on the defeat and mentioned that it was a difficult wicket to bat on and Sunrisers could not score big.
“Wasn’t the easiest of wicket, 160 was a few short. It was a tricky wicket, cutters were gripping. They shut down a lot of our scoring areas. I thought we had all bases covered, 160 you feel a little bit short, I thought we gave it a good crack with the ball. We thought we needed wickets, had plenty of death bowling in Eshan, Harshal and myself. Needed just an over or two, so we gave it to the eglgie [Rahul Chahar]. Got to play well away from home to make the finals, unfortunately not clicked yet.”
