The result means that Hyderabad are yet to register a win in IPL 2022.
“There were glimpses where we put ourselves in positions to get over the line with the bat, but (it) wasn’t good enough. It was a good surface. We knew if we can get some good partnerships, there was enough power in the hut. We’ll reflect on the small margins and look at the positives,” said Williamson to broadcasters Star Sports after the match.

“If you look at the performance, it was certainly a much better performance from the last outing. Our powerplay bowling was good with three wickets and (we) were in a strong position. If only we could break the next partnership, but credit to Deepak Hooda and KL Rahul. That was the difference to take them to 170.”

Williamson then delved on the positives from Hyderabad’s death bowling, like Bhuvneshwar Kumar not conceding a boundary in the 18th over and T Natarajan’s double-wicket over.

“I think the guys with the bowling roles were good. Some key death overs from us too. They were arguably wanting a few more runs as well,” said Williamson.

“A few ones and a few twos, and the (SRH) chase would’ve taken a different shape. The game is a game of small margins but we don’t want to get too far ahead and (will) try to look back on those good bits.”
