Upset with third consecutive defeat in IPL 2020, Hyderabad skipper David Warner expressed that he was quite disappointed. Identifying problem in nail-biting clash against Kolkata, Warner reckoned that bowlers leaked too many runs towards end. Hyderabad skipper mand to take chase to very last breath, eventually pushing match into a super over. 

"That was too good a game. We probably leaked a few too many towards back end but for us it's about trying to finish games. We've come too close in last three games and we haven't got across line. I am quite disappointed," Warner said after match. 

Australian talisman also informed that physios would have a look at Kane Williamson and is hopeful that Kiwi would be back in squad before next game.

On or hand, winning skipper Eoin Morgan was quite delighted at victory and praised man of moment Lockie Ferguson. "For Lockie to come in and perform in both phases was outstanding. We've been sort of striving to get wins out of last couple of games, didn't happen against Mumbai; today we were competitive. It'll all depend on a lot of match-ups, what we think are right dynamics at time [ batting order]. Dre went off field, we thought he was injured. He came back on and said he could bowl," Morgan said. 

Chasing a stiff total of 164, Hyderabad got off to a good start with a slight change in batting line up as Kane Williamson opened innings instead of David Warner. Lockie Ferguson starred for Kolkata as he bagged prized wickets of Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg and Kane Williamson. Kiwi speedster also put on a stunning display as he rattled Hyderabad batsmen for just 2 runs in Super Over which was comfortably chased by Kolkata.
