At the mid-innings break, Sunrisers Hyderabad hitter Travis Head reflected on the events of the opening innings versus RCB, saying:
“It was a nice wicket and we got away in the powerplay. The individuals had to step up and happy to contribute at the right time. Abhi is unbelievable against spin and we wanted to maximise the next few overs. Probably we got away with a nice start, the odd ball spun a bit.

Travis Head added:
“Using the high bowler will be key. It’s proper batting and then put pressure on the bowling attacks. We have some power through the middle and at the moment we are standing up really well.”
