Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder Jason Holder was the most unhappy man in Sharjah at the end of their game against Punjab Kings on Saturday.

Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, the West Indian all-rounder conceded that the lack of intent from the top-order collapse left them with too much to do in the end.
"Tough loss. At the halfway mark, needing 126, you obviously back yourselves to chase it. We probably left a little too much to get at the end although I did back myself to get those. The stage where I came in, I just had to go for it and it worked. Maybe that's why it worked. Batters probably weren't too committal earlier on," Jason Holder said.
Jason Holder's 29-ball 47 did gave Sunrisers Hyderabad some ray of hope but Punjab Kings held their nerves to take home the game.
