After the match, Sunriers Hyderabad opener Travis Head commented on the victory, saying:
“I am feeling good the batting team has done an exceptional job in the last two games. So much power in that group. Nice to contribute. We were pretty aggressive in the first game. This is what we want to do at the top. I felt that everyone at the top order flew through and then Klaasen did what he does so regularly.”

Travis Head continued:
“Nice blueprint for us going forward. Haven’t spoken to TD. Just tried to sum up the conditions. Had to target every parts of the field. Happy how it worked out in the powerplay. They have got so much power as well. We knew if we could drag them back a bit. I feel we had enough in the end. Bhuvi and Jai did a brilliant job.”
