Hyderabad faced a batting disaster in today's match as well. Hyderabad had formed a strong squad in this year's IPL. The T20 specialist added several batsmen to the squad. But even then, the team is not able to collect big. None of the batsmen are in good shape.
Hyderabad's collection was only 62 runs in 10 overs. The team started very slowly. Except for captain Pat Cummins, no batsman could bat at a decent strike rate. Pat Cummins collected 22 runs in 9 balls. Hyderabad was able to collect 152 in 20 overs. Nitish Reddy was able to play an innings of 31 and Heinrich Klaasen was able to play an innings of 27 runs.
Mohammed Siraj is in great form. He took 4 wickets for just 17 runs in 4 overs. Besides, Sai Kishore took two wickets for just 24 runs in 4 overs and Prasidh Krishna took two wickets for 25 runs in 4 overs. However, Ishant Sharma gave 53 runs in 4 overs. If Ishant Sharma had bowled with some control, Hyderabad's innings could have ended within 130.
