IPL 2024, DC vs SRH IPL Highlights: Head, Natarajan shine in run-fest as Sunrisers Hyderabad win by 67 runs

Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins was elated with his team's performance to extend dominant run at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi.

“Good record here, another great game of cricket. Need to keep that going. There wasn't much for the bowlers in the powerplay. Got better for the bowlers when the ball got softer. Very excited to see them batting, but got to bowl in the second half. We were really disciplined with the ball, the bowlers executed their plans,” Cummins said.

Rishabh Pant said that they were expecting dew to affect the game in second innings but it didn't happen. He also admitted that leaking too many runs in the powerplay let the team down. 

"I think the only thought process behind it was there could be dew which didn't come (on choosing to bowl first), but we would still have had a chance had we restricted them to 220-230. The powerplay was the difference, they got (125) runs and we ended up playing catching up after that," Pant said after the match.

The Delhi Capitals skipper the conditions changed a bit in the second innings and the target was too big. 

"The ball stopped more in the 2nd innings, that was more than we anticipated, but when we needed to chase 260, 270, you'll need to keep scoring. Hopefully, we'll come up with more thought process and a clear mindset going forward," he added. 

Pant further heaped praise on Jake Fraser-McGurk for his fearless batting as he put DC back in the game with his sensational fifty. "His batting has been phenomenal (on Fraser-McGurk), he's been nice for us, that's what we need to do as a team, be together, look at areas where we can improve going into the next game," he concluded.
