Sunrisers Hyderabad’s stand-in skipper Ishan Kishan expressed disappointment over his team’s subpar batting performance in their defeat to Punjab Kings at the New Chandigarh Stadium. Despite a strong start with Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma contributing significantly, SRH lost momentum in the middle and tail end, ending their innings at 219. Kishan believed they missed the opportunity to reach a higher total, lamenting the lack of execution, particularly in the death overs.
Punjab Kings had a solid start in their chase, reaching 93 without loss in the powerplay. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad fought back as Shivam Sharma dismissed the top three quickly. Kishan acknowledged the team’s struggle to defend a 200-plus total, attributing it to poor bowling execution. He emphasized the importance of staying ahead in the game and executing plans effectively to avoid conceding unnecessary runs.
PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer showcased his leadership once again with consecutive half-centuries, guiding his team through the crucial middle overs. Assistant coach Brad Haddin praised PBKS for their composure and strategic play post powerplay, noting that the game’s turning point was in the middle overs. SRH will face Rajasthan Royals next, while PBKS will take on Mumbai Indians in their upcoming fixture.
