SRH beat MI yesterday
The Kiwi skipper has played 13 matches but scored just 216 runs at a strike rate of 93.51. He was retained by the franchise ahead of the season.
SRH is currently placed 8th on the points table with 12 points from 13 matches. They will face Punjab Kings in their penultimate match on Sunday, May 22. Yesterday, they defeated Mumbai Indians with the help of Rahul Tripathi, Umran Malik and an exceptional death over bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
“Nice to break the streak. But also nice to win the wrestle. Had a few games where momentum wasn’t on our side and we couldn’t wrestle it back. All in all a very good performance and a lot of learning to come out of it. He’s (Tripathi) a seriously special player, he comes out and takes the momentum away. Have seen a number of times in this competition. He always bowls quick, which is obviously a strength and weapon for our side. Got an amazing skill set which if he can channel, he can turn a match as we saw,” Williamson said at the post-match presentation ceremony hailing Rahul Tripathi.
