Kagiso Rabada wins the POTM award
Kagiso Rabada wins the Player of the Match award for his heroics in the powerplay.
"Season in, season out, all you try to do is do the best you can. I have been backed and it has been clear what my role has been: leave everything out for the team. Rhythm is everything. About bowling as much as I can, but also preserving myself to be match-ready. Need to find a way to somehow click."
Captain Pat Cummins reflects on SRH defeat
"Pretty happy when we walked off. Tricky wicket, they bowled well. Try to look for ways to get through that spell, maybe. Looked like a tough wicket when you hit that back of a length. Maybe we could have held our lengths a little longer. But that is as good a T20 bowling (performance) as you can see from them. Our batting has been fantastic, so not reading too much into that. Guys have gone really well. This happens in T20 cricket. We (now) go to venues we know well, so we take confidence from that. We won five or six (out of our last 7-8) and that gives a bit of breathing room (in the playoff race), so going back to what got us those wins and putting this behind quickly."
