While Sunrisers Hyderabad posted the second highest score in IPL history in their opening game of this year’s IPL with a total of 286 against Rajasthan Royals, the Pat Cummins led team lost their second match against Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets at Hyderabad on Thursday night. With their bowlers failing to defend a total of 190 runs, former England captain Michael Vaughan believes the team needs to impart some confidence in their bowling unit.
During their win against Rajasthan Royals, captain Pat Cummins gave away 60 runs in his four overs with other Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers too struggling before Royals fell short by 44 runs in the chase. On Thursday, Sunrisers Hyderabad tried seven bowlers during Lucknow Super Giants chase of 190 runs and all the Sunrisers’ bowlers except Cummins went for an economy in excess of ten. “Obviously, we talk about Hyderabad’s batting, the power, and the huge scores they get. They have got to be careful that the bowlers don’t lose confidence. You know, because their bowlers are bowling on this road. You look at those numbers. I mean, Pat Cummins has done well tonight, but he went for 60 in the first game. Adam Zampa has been destroyed, really, tonight. Mohammed Shami’s gone at 12 today. So you have got to be careful with your bowling attack, that they don’t just bowl on roads in your home venue, and then you suddenly get on there, and you’re expecting them to deliver, and they’re not full of confidence,” Vaughan told Cricbuzz post the match.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had retained five players in the form of Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klassen, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Travis Head before the IPL mega auction last year. The Hyderabad based franice had only 45 crore left for the mega auction and picked up the likes of Mohammed Shami, Adam Zampa, Harshal Patel among the bowlers apart from spending big on Ishan Kishan. Vaughan finds Sunrisers Hyderabad for playing only one style of cricket. “I’m yet to see a team with a major event playing just one style of cricket. I’m just worried that the Sunrisers just play this one style of cricket, and they might just have to go up and down at the gears. Yes, go aggressive when you can, but it might not be possible every time you go out to bat,” Vaughan said.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had lost two early wickets on Thursday before Head took them to a total of 76 in 7.2 overs. But his fall coupled with Sunrisers losing wickets at regular intervals meant that the team ended with a score of 190 for 9 in 20 overs. Super Giants chased the target with 23 balls remaining in the match “And tonight, they fell short because they were ultra-aggressive. They had a little bit of fortune, but they were ultra-aggressive. And if they played a little bit smarter, would they have got 220, 230? Again, that’s hindsight. But I’ve not seen a team yet win a franchise league or a national major tournament by playing just one style of cricket,” Vaughan concluded.
