Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins urged his team to forget the heavy defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders and concentrate on the second IPL 2024 Qualifier, saying there are days in T20 cricket when things just don`t work out. SRH were handed an eight-wicket hammering by KKR in IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 on Tuesday. The Cummins-led side will get another crack at making the final. SRH will take the winner of the Eliminator between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Chennai on Friday. "We will try to put this day behind quickly, good thing we will have a crack at it (qualifier 2).
"You have these days in T20 cricket, when it doesn`t work out. We had few starts but didn`t go on with bat. Not good with the ball. We weren`t where we wanted with the bat and obviously couldn`t do much with the ball." "We all have played enough cricket, and going to a new venue (Chennai) helps us as well, so we got to keep this behind and move on." Pacer Mitchel Starc was adjudged player of the match for his sensational bowling up front when he claimed the scalps of Travis Head, Nitish Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed in the powerplay.
