Hyderabad beat Bangalore by nine wickets in a one-sided affair to move into the top 4 of the points table. The orange army decided to bowl first at the Brabourne Stadium. Bangalore had a poor start to their innings as Marco Jansen disrupted their top-order in the second over. Faf du Plessis (zero), Virat Kohli (zero), and Anuj Rawat (five) all departed for a team score of 8 in two overs. The troubles did not stop there as they kept losing wickets regularly.
Glenn Maxwell (12) lost his wicket soon as T Natarajan dismissed him in the fifth over. Shahbaz Ahmed and Suyash Prabhudesai added 27 runs but Jagadeesha Suchith took the wicket of Prabhudesai (15) in the ninth over to break the partnership. The in-form Dinesh Karthik (0) also lost his wicket in the same over. Bangalore's scorecard read 47/6 in 8.5 overs. Umran Malik then knocked out Ahmed (seven) in the 10th over. Wickets kept on tumbling as Bangalore were bowled out for 68, their lowest score this season.
In the chase, it was all Hyderabad as Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson added 64 runs for the opening partnership. While Sharma lost his wicket in an attempt to hit the winning six, Rahul Tripathi accomplished the mission. Hyderabad won the match by 9 wickets.
Kane Williamson: The guys bowled beautifully and we caught well. It was an outstanding performance, but for us it's about looking forward to the next challenge. The ball is swinging a lot more this season, so we have been taking wickets in the powerplay. He (Jansen) is always up for a laugh off the field, but he is very focused. He has got the skills to do that, he is a real treat for us. You want to do as well as you can. There was a bit of chat with him, he (Abhishek) has been timing the ball brilliantly. There are a few challenges coming up ahead, so need to be focused.
Faf du Plessis: The first four overs, we shouldn't have lost so many wickets, it was a bit spicy upfront. We still got to find a way to set a foundation (in the upcoming games), even if it's sacrificing a few runs in the powerplay. We just needed to get through that phase where the ball was swinging and seaming, one you get through it, it becomes easier. This wicket looked the best, the expectations were pretty high, it was a very good wicket. There are no excuses though. Jansen bowled well in his first over swinging the ball both ways and got the big wickets. You want to make sure you don't get a lot emotional, it was a bad day at the office, but you need to keep your chin up and need to get the learning from it. As a team we need to move forward, it's a long tournament.
