"Wicket Didn't Suit Pace": Josh Hazlewood After RCB's Win vs SRH
Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Josh Hazlewood said that the wicket during the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad, was not suitable for pace bowlers. Faf du Plessis' unbeaten knock of 73 and Wanindu Hasaranga's five-wicket haul helped Royal Challengers Bangalore beat SunRisers Hyderabad by 67 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. "Sweaty again, nice and hot. The wicket probably got drier as the match went on. Being a day game, it deteriorated and we took the pace off. Our spinners bowled really well, we worked to a plan and achieved it. It (knuckle ball) is tough in these conditions with how sweaty everything is and when the dew comes in at night. It's a tough skill but seems to be coming out okay. Tonight's wicket didn't suit pace on," said Hazlewood in a post-match presentation.
