I don’t mind mistakes if the approach is right. It helps to see a performance like this and the guys will see that results can be had. Thank you for the way the team responded,” SRH captain Aiden Markram said after the match.
“Klassy was in great shape and Abhishek did a hard job early on. Klassy backed himself up to play this way and it’s great to see it pay off. We needed wickets to get back into the game and the two did well, Needed a special catch from Mayank. Luckily the ball came to a stop and the bowlers showed good character to execute their booty. This win will give us a lot of confidence now we go home and try hard Build on that,” Markram continued.
SRH won the toss and decided to bat first, and they managed to score 197/6 on the board. Chasing a goal of 198, Phil Salt and Mitchell Marsh’s 112 over the second wicket gave DC a solid platform, however, after their dismissal, DC lost momentum and lost wickets regularly Door.

Manish Pandey was cheaply sacked by Abhishek Sharma in one over, while in SRH’s 14th over, Marsh was hit hard, with Marsh batting for 63 for 39 balls.
