Hyderabad: After suffering a humiliating defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Saturday, Delhi Daredevils skipper Mahela Jayawardene said that his team was not playing according to the conditions.

“On a wicket like this the practical thing would have been to get 120 on the board. We are not playing according to the conditions. It is a wicket where you can't play big shots. You had to manoeuvre it, make them run around. We didn't even bat the 20 overs. Usually you try to win majority of home games, but we haven't been able to," said Mahela.

Meanwhile SRH captain Kumar Sangakarra said that it was a good bowling and fielding performance from his side. "It was a really good bowling and fielding performance. Our bowlers have executed everything really well. It was probably a 120 wicket. We were thinking of sending in a few hitters early to finish it off early, but the wicket was not such," said Sangakarra in the post-match presentation.

Darren Sammy, who was adjudged man-of-the-match, said, “I must commend the entire team. This has been the highlight of the Sunrisers. We play as a team. Captain Sangakkara was spot on. It is our home ground and if we don't know how to bowl here, it makes no sense playing here," said Sammy.
