"We were probably a bit short"- SRH captain Pat Cummins after loss against MI in IPL 2024 match
After the conclusion of the match, SRH skipper Pat Cummins reflected on the loss, saying:
"We were probably a bit short with the bat. Little bit in there on the wicket early. I always thought that the wicket had something about it. Having Sunny out there helped us get to 170."
He added:
"A quick bowler would have been great but I don't think that would have made a difference. It's T20 cricket and doesn't really work out the way you want. SKY took the game away for us. Hopefully a few more fireworks in the coming games."
DC will square off against RR in the next match of IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, May 7.
