Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori believes that having mastered the art of setting goals, now is the time for his team to step up their chase as the Indian Premier League draws closer to the business end. Enhance your abilities. SRH are currently placed third on the leaderboard with five wins from eight matches. Of the five wins, four have been achieved while batting first. “We have been successful in setting the target and now we have to see how good we are in chasing the target,” Vettori said after the 35-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore here on Thursday night.
RCB, who came to bat first, made a challenging score of 206 runs for 7 wickets and then restricted SRH to 171 runs for 8 wickets.
For a team that has crossed the 250-run mark thrice this season, the target was easily achievable but a rare failure from the top and middle order cost the hosts dearly.
“Obviously, where we’ve come from in the last four games is disappointing; we played some very good cricket and even though we lost, you could see that if we had had a few wickets at the back end, we would have just Could also chase it,” Vettori said in the post-match press conference.
“Those early wickets broke everything. We were confident about the score we were able to make. Although 206 was a good score, we probably left a few runs in the field. But there was confidence in the group because of past performances.
“We also knew it was being set up by the openers and how well they have played, and today they had an off day and that’s cricket,” he said.
The former New Zealand cricketer said that there is no easy game in IPL.
Vettori said, “Unfortunately, we did not get the support in the middle stage. It is a tough defeat but we understand that every team can beat every team in the IPL. There is no easy game.”
The coach believed that the role of anchor has no importance in high scoring matches.
“I think the wicket was still quite good. The guys who came down said it’s a surface you can score runs on. It’s difficult to play the anchor role when you’re chasing 207, You obviously need to be aggressive, it’s a little difficult for some to sit together and play the anchor role.” Meanwhile, RCB all-rounder Swapnil Singh was relieved when his team broke the six-match losing streak.
“The experience was good but we won the game which was more important. When you win games, the momentum of the team changes. It feels good. The last two games we missed by small margins but still a long way to go,” he said. To decide.”
Swapnil said that despite SRH boasting an ultra-aggressive batting line-up, he felt the target was enough on this wicket.
“The ball was stopping. Our main objective was to spin the ball and bowl slower as a fast bowler. That helped, we knew they would attack us hard and obviously they did. “
He said, “Yes, we felt that way because when we were batting, the wicket was standing and there was no dew.”
