Hyderabad's performance also impressed us today. Hyderabad had a big score in the first match of IPL. Today too, the team scored a huge score of 278 runs. Heinrich Klaasen remained unbeaten on 105 runs from just 39 balls. After giving such a big target, there is no possibility of Hyderabad losing.
None of the bowlers in the Kolkata squad could do well today. That is why Sunrisers Hyderabad scored a huge 278 runs. Anrich Nortje gave away 60 runs in 4 overs. Varun Chakravarthy gave away 54 runs in 3 overs and Andre Russell gave away 34 runs in 2 overs. Each bowler gave away a lot of runs.
I knew that Kolkata would not be able to win such a big target. But such a bad batting was not expected from Kolkata at all. Kolkata scored 130 runs in 15 overs and lost 7 wickets. Sunil Narine played an innings of 31 runs off 16 balls. Apart from that, no other batsman could bowl well. Otherwise, Kolkata is likely to be defeated by a margin of 100+ runs.
