IPL23 Match no 19 KKR vs SRH this match SRH won by 23 runs. Harry Brook (Player of the Match): "It was aspecial night and thankfully we go over the lineas well. It got a little bit tensed in the middle therebut its good to be on the winning side tonight.A lot of people say opening the batting in T20 isthe best time to bat. You only have 2 fielders outso but I'm happy to bat anywhere. Batted in theTests at 5 and quite probably batted at 5 in T20cricket also but Im happy to do whatever theteam needs.Unfortunately my 4 Test hundreds have to beabove this one but its definitely up there and thecrowd tonight was phenomenal. Those balls Ifaced against Chakaravarthy and the crowd wasgoing mental so its good to be playing in front ofsuch a great stadium and great fans tonight so Ienjoyed it.I was put under pressure by myself after a first I was put under pressure by myselfafter a firstfew games. Being on social media, people callingyou rubbish and you slightly start to doubtyourselfa little bit but I just went out there witha 'I don't care' mentality tonight and thankfully itcame off.There are a lot of Indian fans out there whoprobably gonna be saying 'well done' tonight butthey were slagging me offa few days ago so Imglad that I was able to shut them up to be honest.'Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad Captain);:"Thanks, Harsha. It is great to win away fromhome. The total was not safe. It was a toughgame but hats off to the bowlers to help us getover the line. The field is slightly smaller and theoutfield is quick. A// the players gave their bestand played with intent. Yeah, suppose we got offto a great start and played with freedom. We batdeep and that's the result of the impact players.I think it worked quite well. We know that Harryis a great talent. He hits good cricket shots inthe powerplay and can take us deep. He is Mrreliable for sure. It was a tough wicketas a bowlerand kudos to him for keeping it tight. It's a greatbunch of fellows. There is an extra bit of banter.It's cricket at the endof the day, teaches you alesson.It's great to be the captain of the team andend up with a wvin."Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Sunrisers Hyderabad):"Ahh... First of all, to start, we wanted to pickearlywickets and that is the way we could have stoppedthem. When you are defending the totals, youneed to pick early wickets. In the final over of thepowerplay, they took on our bowler and scored afew quick runs which kept the game hanging inbalance. But we came back well to restrict them.Iam nota big fan of bowling slower balls butthat is what the game needs nowadays. I justtried to bowl according to the situation, accoruyto the batters how they reacted to my previousdeliveries, seeing the dimensions and puttingthem in the rightareas.Just go to him (on asking about Umran Malik'ssecond over after going for plenty in his first over).He is a fiery pace bowler and can be a game-changer. One shouldn't confuse him, you shouldallow the youngster to bowl good deliveries bybacking him.I think the pitch is a bad one for the bowlers,haha! Of course, it is an excellent one for thebatters! Harry Brook is a class apart. Good to see Nitish Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain):"Thank you sir, thank you!! We didn't bowlaccording to our plans. The total wasa bit toomuch. We could have bowled a bit better:. It is wellknown that it is notpractically possible to do everyday what Rinku did in the last match.We tried to take the match to the deep. I tried tohang around from one endand take the inningsdeep. Whenever I got the opportunity, I tried tohit the odd balls. Regarding home advantagewe are aware that the Eden Gardens pitchbehaves in such a way. We were prepared for 200 runs. If your main bowler goes for a lot of runs,you cannot do anything. There will be a lot ofmatches when this bowler will only win matchesfor me. It would've been more entertaining if wehad got the two points."11:14 PMIST: A magnificent century fromHarry Brook in the first innings followed by atremendous teamwork from the bowlers havegiven Sunrisers Hyderabad their second victoratthe season as they defeat Kolkata Knight Ridby 23 runs.

IPL23 Match no 50 RCB vs DC this Match DC won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "We spoke beforethe game about being positive and take them on.We saw how good they were in Bangalore whenthey had their tails up.The real strength of mine is when I get going Idon't really look to take my foot off the pedal toooften. We knew the wicket was quite slow andlow and we knew that realistically we would slowdown in the middle.I thought it was par. I thought we would have tobat really well to get there but the boys came outswinging and played really wel.Marsh came in and hit the second ball for six orsomething like that and it puts the bowlers on thebackfoot. He's a top player.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "That wasamazing. I thought 180 was probably par score.The ball started skidding nicely at the back end. Iwas confident restricting them to 180 if we comeOut with the intent led by Phil Salt to try chase thistotal down.We said from the outside that we wanted to gofor the target. Siraj and Hazlewood might havebowled the other overs well but that was Ourintention today. Siraj has been bowling extremelywell and he's their backbone. He takes earlywickets in the powerplay and if we take him on a little bit and bring back his length where a lotof his dismissals have been bowled and LB. Thatwould work in our favor. We were able to get to agood start in the first 6 anda great finish there bySalty and Rilee.Credit to the way the bowlers have bowled. Theywere fantastic, they defended 130 twice. Anrichisn't here one of the most experience but Ishantleading there and Khaleel which makes us astronger. Indian bowling component. With theexperience of Kuldeep and Axar as well. They are2 outstanding bowlers and we gota great team anda great momentum now.Its all about momentum and its all jammed atthe momnent We go on to Chennai now. We knowits gonna be a tough one down there. They'vegot some good momentum as well. I think we'vefound the right balance now at the right time." Rilee Rossouw (Delhi Capitals): "We bowled quitewell. It was a great result for us. I thought it wasa decent score. Warner and Salt were wonderfulup at the top. Then Marsh followed it really well. Icame up with the same intent and tried to knockoff the remaining runs. We are wonderful as agroup. It has been an amazing feeling. They arevery supportive even though not playing.It was a tricky pitch. It was gripping and turningearlier. I think Salt playeda blinder. He wasfantastic and the way he took on the bowlersin the fist six set the match for us. Otherwise, iwould have been a tough chase. The intent of can't lose anymore brings out thebest in us. We can't lose any game from here andthe freedom it gave us was the result you sawtonight. The way we played tonight no one will tellthat we lost 6 games or how many ever. We needto keep going and who knows we might be luckyto sneak into the playoffs." Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers BangaloreCaptain): "I felt it was pretty close. We walkedaway with a total of 180+ andat the halfway markit was close. There was a bit of dew and we haveto give credit to their batters.The dew came and our spinners couldn't comeinto the play. A little bit of dew and it hamperedOur plans. I felt that the pitch changed a bit as thematch progressed. When we batted it was quiteslow. At the end of the 12th over, we thought.was a good score. Obviously, you want one ot uieovers to go for 15-20 and get to 2O0. But they got off to a strong start and the base wasset. With the dew settling in, our bowlers weren'tin control of the proceedings. Their batters putour spinners under pressure. We gave a goodfoundation for Maxi to come at three. But verypleased to see Lomror the way he played. Goodtalent and finally, he showed what he has got.Very positive from him. We want someone atnumber 3 to score runs and that will be icing onthe cake. Delhi Capitals finally removethemselves from the number 10 spot in thepoints table with a thumping win over theRoyal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets! Amagnificent batting display from the hosts whereevery batter who got the opportunity banked on itand took the team to win with 20 balls in hand.RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the tOss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181/4their 20 overs on the back of half centuries froMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off 42 ) RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181J4 intheir 20O overs on the back of half centuries fromnMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off46).
