Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered a convincing eight-wicket defeat by the hands of KKR in Qualifier 1 held on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad this Tuesday.
Regardless of the setback, Cummins’ squad can have one other alternative to safe a spot within the closing as they await the winner of the Eliminator conflict between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, set to happen in Chennai on Friday.
KKR cruised to victory with 6.2 overs to spare, courtesy of unbeaten half-centuries from Venkatesh Iyer (51) and captain Shreyas Iyer (58).
“Yeah we are going to attempt to put this behind rapidly, good factor we can have a crack at it (second qualifier). You’ve got these days in T20 cricket the place issues would not fairly work out. We weren’t the place we needed with the bat and clearly could not do a lot with the ball,” Cummins stated on the put up match presentation.
“Felt that additional batting was essential (choosing the impression sub) on this wicket. Although KKR bowled very well, there was a bit of bit in it early on and the floor received higher. All of us have performed sufficient cricket, and going to a brand new venue (Chennai) helps us as effectively, so we gotta maintain this behind and transfer on,” he stated.
Mitchell Starc spearheaded a formidable bowling efficiency, claiming three essential wickets to unsettle SRH, who might solely muster a below-par whole of 159 runs earlier than being bowled out with simply three balls remaining of their innings.
