Kane Williamson, the skipper of Hyderabad, is also the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that it has been a tough season for them but it was a great win today. Adds that it was great to see the small adjustments being made by the players on a tough surface. Says that it was a pitch where the batter had to work hard to score runs. Further adds that they were looking to build pressure with the ball as they knew that they would not get results quickly. Says that Maxwell had to be dismissed if they had to win this game and he is happy to run him out. Adds that finishing the game off against a team like Bangalore is a great feeling. About Umran Malik, says that he is a special player and it is not very surprising to see him perform so well in this competition. Finishes by saying they lost quite a few games in the last overs but it is quite satisfying to win one in the last over here.
Virat Kohli, the skipper of Bangalore, says that the intent was to try and do it as soon as possible but he feels like Maxwell's run out was the turning point. Adds that when AB de Villiers was there the game was still on but they missed out due to a short margin. Adds that Shahbaz Ahmed played really well and applauds Hyderabad's bowlers by saying that they bowled really well in the death. Talking about Chahal, he says that he had his away from the game but he has come back brilliantly and he has been magnificent for them. While talking about Umran Malik, he says that this tournament gives talent every year and it is important to make the best out of them and it is good for Indian cricket. Ends by saying that they are optimistic and feel it is a little hiccup in the journey and they will come back strongly.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is down for a chat, he says that his hand is fine now. Adds that in the last over, there were obviously nerves in the last over so he was trying to bowl wide yorkers. Says that they felt that they were 10-15 runs short but they bowled well as a unit to defend it.
Earlier in the day, after electing to bowl, Bangalore did really well to restrict Hyderabad to 141 especially after the start Hyderabad got off to. That though proved to be enough as their bowlers put up a spirited performance to diminish Bangalore's chances to finish in the top 2.
Williamson used 5 bowlers and all 5 of them bowled really well! Kumar, Kaul and Holder began brilliantly in the Powerplay! Rashid did not start off that well but came back strongly later on. Malik was very impressive in his first spell of three but he was taken to the cleaners in his last over. That could have well proven to be fatal but Kumar and Holder kept their nerve. Outstanding performance.
We did feel, 141 was under par but Hyderabad turned back the clock, they were a team which were known to defend low totals and have done so again here. Early wickets are what they needed and they got three. Glenn Maxwell and Devdutt Padikkal then put up a good stand which was taking the game away from Hyderabad. Maxwell once again batted beautifully but his run out changed the game again. Padikkal needed to be there till the end but he fell at the wrong time. Shahbaz Ahmed also struck a few crucial boundaries but he to fell at the wrong time. It all came down to AB de Villiers, they needed 2 biggies from the last three balls. It came down to 1 on the last 2 but it was Bhuvneshwar Kumar who kept his cool and took his side over the line.
STOP THE PRESS! Hyderabad have finally managed to win a game! And what a victory it is! 141 is what they have defended against a world-class batting lineup of Bangalore! Take a bow, Hyderabad, it has been a tremendous effort from them. Also, Bangalore's hope of finishing in the top 2 is almost over. They will be disappointed with this loss but Hyderabad were the better side.
