For his match winning innings, Kane Williamson is named the Man of the Match. Williamson smiles and admits that is the loudest an Aussie has cheered. Credits the bowlers for restricting them to a low score but also was aware that there was something in the surface as he feel Bangalore have a strong batting line up. Tells it was never going to be easy as Bangalore had two class leg spinner. Credits them for not keeping it tight. Tells he just looks to fulfil the role he has been given and says batting at 4 is not easy. Praises Holder and the partnership they had. Williamson says Holder is cooler than him and praises him for his form both with bat and ball.
David Warner, the VICTORIOUS HYDERABAD SKIPPER, says that the last few games have been a bit tiring. Says that to win tonight was great, it was a top performance. States that Holder and Natarajan have made a great impact in the side. Warner says that the plan was to hold back Natarajan a bit for the end and use him. Don't want to be too over-reliant on Rashid. On Williamson, Warner says that he is a very bankable player for Hyderabad and credits him for being a fantastic player. He has done that for so many years for New Zealand. For Rashid, Warner states that he is running out of superlatives to praise him. When Harsha tells Warner that as an Australian, praising Kane, a Kiwi, Warner chuckles and sheepishly says that this will be the last time he does so.
Rashid Khan is caught for a quick chat. Tells that it was a tough game but he is happy to have ended on the winning side. Remembers their encounter against Punjab where his side failed to chase a similar score. Tells that he watches his old videos and checks on which balls he is getting hit. Feels that he has been hit for runs on the very full ball and short ball, so he works on that and it really helps him. Says that anything full is easier to hit on these wickets and one has to bowl a bit shortish length. Tells that they are looking forward to the next game against Delhi and want to keep things simple and enjoy the game.
Bangalore skipper, Virat Kohli, admits they did not have enough on the board. Feels they made a game of it in the second half. Kohli says that maybe because of nerves they were unable to be expressive with the bat and feels they failed to put the Hyderabad bowlers under pressure. Kohli says couple of people like Siraj, Padikkal have had a good season along with Chahal, who Kohli says has been a constant. Credits Padikkal for the season he had and feels happy for Devdutt. Kohli says there is no runaway favorite in this league and feels as there was no home advantage, this was one of the most competitive seasons. Kohli thanks the fans who have supported them and says that they feel privileged to be playing.
Earlier in the game, Warner invited Bangalore to set a target. Well, it was a sorry show from the Bangalore batters as just 3 of their batsmen could enter into double-digits. Kohli promoted himself but that didn't work for them. Finch and de Villiers managed to stitch a stand but once it was broken, things went haywire. ABD though kept his end and got to a fine half ton but got out at the wrong time. Eventually, Bangalore were stopped to a low score. All the Hyderabad bowlers were tidy but it was the Holder-Natarajan duo that got 5 wickets between them to push Bangalore on the back foot. Nadeem, Rashid and Sandeep managed to choke the runs too which in the end their batters chased down in the last over. Stay tuned for the presentation...
What about Bangalore's bowling? Well, the batters didn't put enough on the board and it was always going to be difficult for them. That's exactly how it panned out. Siraj struck twice inside the Powerplay while the spinners did their job too. Zampa and Chahal got one each but with absolutely no pressure of the asking rate, Hyderabad batters didn't take a lot of risks and managed to stroll to Qualifier 2.
The run chase didn't start well as Siraj struck in his first over. Warner and Pandey steadied the ship but once Warner was dismissed, there was a blip. They lost 2 more wickets quickly but Williamson made sure he wasn't bogged down because of the slow run rate. He kept his end and took the team home in the end with a fine half ton. Holder played his part as well and in the last over creamed the strokes to seal the deal.
Qualifier 2, here come Hyderabad and in style! What a turnaround it has been from the Orange Army. An easy chase in the end with two of the coolest heads in Williamson and Holder taking their team home without much trouble. There was a moment when Bangalore would've thought that they could force a collapse but with Kane out there, it didn't occur. And Bangalore's wait to lift their first-ever Indian T20 League title has been extended for another edition.
