“I think from what we have seen so far both the wickets where the slow balls were sticking into the pitch and It’s about adapting to the conditions. I think the conditions were suitable for those sorts of deliveries… as a bowler, you have got to be unpredictable in terms of lines and pace,” Unadkat said.
Recapping the match, CSK batted first and posted 165/5 in their 20 overs, with contributions from Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ajinkya Rahane. In response, SRH chased down the target with ease, thanks to Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Reddy.
