“I think the way we bowed today was very clever and on the spot. We glued on simple basic plans. Some balls were not easy to intervene. Counting the pitch that we made them hit some good shots.
Captain noted me that the playground offered some early help that the pitching was earned by.
“If you look at it, he had a nice green grass. The first few crosses that Deepak (Khahar) bowed, a few balls stuck. We decided to use the pace of the balls. As soon as we found out, we try to mix.

The bowlists were clinical when they kept the SRH tabs under control, which did not allow them to free themselves at any stage of shifts.

For SRH it was their fifth loss in seven games this season.
“You have to play far from home to achieve the finals, but unfortunately it hasn’t clicked this season, we have a short break and we go again,” he said.
“Every game we’re talking about the evaluation, the boys did well to get through the powerplay and it wasn’t an unscrupulous beating, the next game is at home and we know that the place quite well.”
