Not an ideal T20 pitch: Simmons

Delhi Daredevils coach Eric Simmons said the pitch for the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad was not an ideal T20 wicket.

“When you see a batsman of the calibre of Virender Sehwag struggle in the early overs, it should reflect on the nature of the wicket,” said Simmons.

Sunrisers mentor Krishnamachari Srikkanth said it was a “superb and convincing win” against Daredevils. “It was an extraordinary performance by all the bowlers. I think the tone for the evening was set by Steyn and Ishant.”
