I Think SRH Bowled Well In Last 5 Overs: Hardik After 1st Defeat Of Season
Mumbai: After suffering their first defeat in the ongoing IPL season, GT captain Hardik Pandya said SRH bowled well in the last five overs to restrict them to 162/7 after 20 overs.
Top innings from Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma helped Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets in their IPL 2022 match at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday.
“Batting wise I think we were 7-10 runs short and it would have made a difference in the end. Bowling we started well but two bad overs. I think they bowled well [in the last 5 overs]. The bounce was varying about and their bowlers with different heights,” said Hardik Pandya in a post-match presentation.
“The credit goes to them for the way they bowled. Our aim is to learn from mistakes, we don’t care about the result. In a couple of days, we have our next game. Relax and enjoy the game,” he added.
Skipper Williamson played a knock of 57 while SRH’s other opener Abhishek Sharma hit a quickfire 42 to chase down the target of 163 with five balls to spare in the match.
This is Gujarat’s first defeat in the tournament, after winning their first three matches of the Indian Premier League.
