Sunrisers Hyderabad v Titans, CLT20, Ranchi: All-round Davids helps Titans stroll to win, Titans 147 for 2 (Davids 64, Rudolph 49*) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 145 for 7 (Dhawan 37, Wiese 3-17) by 8 wickets

Shikhar Dhawan says the top-order began well but none of them, including him could carry on and make a big score. They had also lost three-four wickets in a short period, which didn’t help their cause. The short ball was another problem, especially for the Indian batsmen. He wanted the local batsmen needed to stand up and that they would work on that aspect and come back stronger

Jacques Rudolph said he enjoyed playing with Davids and on a personal level, he was happy to stay there in the end. He wasn’t too worried about missing a fifty, saying net run rate could come into play. He commended his side for assessing the conditions quickly. On a sticky wicket, he would have preferred to chase a total around 135 but said they had put up a very good performance

Henry Davids is the Man of the Match. “We got it right, right from the toss. We could have bowled better at the start, but David Wiese pulled the game back for us. We got Dhawan and Parthiv quickly and from then on kept things tight and we were very patient and showed a lot of guts out in the middle. It worked out well for me, I try to give myself a couple of balls to get in and then play attacking cricket”
