Muttiah Muralitharan about SRH lose

Mumbai, May 18: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowling coach Muttiah Muralitharan has expressed his statements on the loss of SRH against the KKR.

While coming to details that, he feels his team would have had a good chance of making the IPL final had rain not played spoilsport in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Eliminator.

Opting to field first on Wednesday, KKR produced a disciplined bowling effort to first restrict Hyderabad to a below-par 128/7 and then gun down the revised target of 48 with ease.



The coach said after the post-match presentation that "I think overall if you see, the Bengaluru wicket this year was very low scoring. I thought 130 is a par score. I think with more runs on board and if you take two or three wickets in a 20-over game, we would have had a better chance than playing a six-over game,"

He also added that "The wicket is not that great to play shots here because if you had played your shots, you would have been bowled out for 70-80 runs. We were thinking about putting 140 runs, and if we had a 20-over game, we had the bowling to defend. Unfortunately, we were 10 runs short. They bowled well as well."
