After losing the match against RCB, Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins said, “Not an ideal night. Had a few average overs with the ball and unfortunately lost a few wickets during our innings. We were supposed to bat first, it felt like that.” It was working in our favor. Before we won, we were thinking that it was not in our favor.
Cummins further said, “I speak after victory, Daniel Vettori speaks after defeat. The boys are performing well, this is T20 cricket, you cannot win every match. Don't pay too much attention to it.” The Hyderabad captain further said on high risk and high reward with the bat, “I think that is our strong side. It will not work in every match. One or two matches where it did not go in our favor in the beginning, then We also made a good total.”
