For SRH, one wicket each was bagged by Glenn Phillips, Mayank Markande, and Abhishek Sharma in there respective spells where they conceded 10 runs, 39 runs, and 42 runs respectively.

“We spoke about adapting, we knew we could target that one over from spin, it was right up to my match-up and thankfully it came off well (on the 31-run over from Abhishek), I did enjoy my batting. It’s important to target that 6th bowler, it’s a batter’s game, no risk, no reward, you have to work on the match-ups. I’ve played enough international cricket to know how to deal with situations, I expected the bowlers to bowl yorkers and slower balls and was ready for it. Even in T20I cricket, I’d like to bat longer,” Nicholas Pooran was quoted as saying after the match.
