For the second time in as many games in IPL 2018, Sunrisers Hyderabad defended a below-par total, demonstrating the depth of their bowling attack.
Two days after they defended 118 against Mumbai Indians, they ensured that even 132-6 was too much for Kings XI Punjab to chase in Hyderabad on Thursday April 26.
“Rashid Khan’s bowling made the difference,” said Ashwin. “We kept attacking too much and lost a few wickets. But these things happen.
“We fielded badly. We dropped way too many catches for a 20-over game and it cost us. If we had taken a couple of catches we might have restricted them [by] 20-30 runs.”
