After failing to chase down a small target against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper David Warner said he feels that his side got a bit complacent during the chase. SRH suffered a 12-run defeat against KXIP after the Warner-led side failed to chase a target of 127. Chris Jordan and Arshdeep Singh took three wickets each as SRH were all out on 114 runs.
“In regards to our batting, we got off to a good start, but very disappointed. We did not get the job done. We probably got a bit complacent in the middle and we did not take the game on enough like we did in the previous game. I think we felt that we would get the runs easily but then we sort of let the balls get ahead of the runs,” Warner said in the post-match press conference.
However, Warner praised the team’s bowling performance and said it was a “special day” for them. “Our bowlers did an incredible job. They did an exceptional job through the middle period to take wickets. Today was a special day for them,” he said.
