Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) thrashed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their last league-stage match of IPL 2026 here on Friday and SRH skipper Pat Cummins said he is happy with the 'big win'.
During the post-match press conference, Cummins talked about the 55-run win over RCB, his learning from the SRH bowling unit and playing Eliminator at New Chandigarh.
"It was pretty impressive to get to the score that we did. I thought the boys batted fantastically, and it's a good bowling performance. So everyone's hitting their straps. A pretty good wicket, we knew a lot of things had to go our way. It got close. I think they were trying to make sure they got up to that score. So we threw a few different things at them, but it's still a big win," said Cummins.
