Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson on Tuesday said his team will have to improve a bit and execute their plans better in the upcoming matches of the IPL 2022 after starting their campaign with a big, 61-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Williamson said his team started on a good note with pacer Umran Malik hitting the 150kmph mark in the first over itself. But things went downhill for them after that as his bowlers sent a few no-balls and allowed Rajasthan Royals to post a challenging 210\/6 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In response, SRH could not tackle the Rajasthan Royals' bowling as the pitch offered a bit of movement and their rivals exploited the conditions well and restricted them to 149\/7 in 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think we started beautifully with the ball. We've seen in all games there's swing and assistance with the new ball -- you have to try and make some inroads. We looked likely, but some fine margins. It was a good surface and they are a difficult team to stop," Williamson said at the post-match presentation on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"For us, we need to look at it logically and there are a number of things to improve on. That said, T20 throws some curveballs at you, got to get your chin up."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about the problem of no-balls, the New Zealander said they will have to work on it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's not something common to us as a side. It was a surprise. We certainly don't want to be doing that. It represents extra deliveries and when you take a wicket off it, it's never nice. A number of things you can't control," Williamson said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The New Zealand skipper said that Umran Malik was an exciting prospect and will surely continue to get better with more matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"He's) Exciting, has the raw pace. He's young, got some experience last year and surely will continue to get better," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said his side has a few days on its hands before the next game and will sit down and discuss things in this period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
