At the Wankhede you want as many as you can get: Cummins
After the match, Pat Cummins, the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, reflected on their performance, stating they were perhaps a couple of runs short at the Wankhede Stadium. Cummins acknowledged the strong performance by Suryakumar Yadav and expressed optimism about their upcoming matches, hoping for more exciting performances ahead, especially when playing at home.
"Probably a couple short, at the Wankhede you want as many as you can get. You always feel like you’re in, the wicket had a little bit in it so we were definitely in the game. I think Sanvir helped us get to that 170 instead of 150, ideally we’d have a bowler. It’s T20 cricket, and it doesn't always work out. SKY played really well. We like playing at home, we’ll wait and see what’s ahead of us. Hopefully a few more fireworks," Cummins said after the macth as quoted by Cricbuzz.
