In Short

  • Delhi Capitals have world-class fast bowlers, says SRH coach Trevor Bayliss
  • Sunrisers Hyderabad will next lock horns against Punjab Kings on Saturday
  • Williamson is one of the world's best batters, says Trevor Bayliss

Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Trevor Bayliss showered praise on the Delhi Capitals bowling attack and said Rishabh Pant-led side has some world class fast bowlers in their ranks. Delhi Capitals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets.

With this loss, Sunrisers Hyedrabad are virtually out of the play-off race.

"Williamson is one of the world's best batters. Even the best batters in the world are not perfect. Sometimes they can have an off day. Look, you have to give DC bowlers credit. They bowled well. They have some world-class bowlers and, upfront, they are very fast bowlers. They had a good day and we did not. That's the game of cricket," said Bayliss during a virtual post-match press conference.

Talking about T Natarajan testing positive for Covid-19, Bayliss said: "DC played way too well for us tonight. Natarajan was going to play, but these guys are professional players, and every time there is an injury before the match, you have to make a replacement. All of the players were used to that, but yeah, I hope Natarajan gets over Covid-19 pretty quickly."

Anrich Nortje (2/12), Kagiso Rabada (3/37), and Axar Patel (2/21) bamboozled Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday as they only managed to score 134 for 9 in 20 overs.

Chasing a modest total, Delhi Capitals romped home in 17.5 overs with eight wickets in their hands.

"Sometimes, low-scoring matches can be very exciting. It depends on whether both teams are scoring low scores. Our guys in the field stuck at it the best we could. The wickets did not come, so it put us under pressure. But the effort our guys put in was nothing to complain about. On another day, when we score more runs, the pressure we put in the field will help us take wickets," said Bayliss.

Sunrisers Hyderabad will next lock horns against Punjab Kings on Saturday.
