Time for the presentations.
With this win, Toyam Hyderabad have qualified for the playoffs. They become the second team after Southern Super Stars to achieve the feat.
Kedar Jadhav (Southern Super Stars Captain): "I think we were not able to read the wicket properly. We thought that the wicket would be dry and help the spinners but it got better as the game got on. This happens.
To be honest, I did not want to bowl today. My bowling does not suit this ground. I mean I don't have variations that much.
We are professionals. We know how to come back. I think we were in the knockouts and were complacent and tried few things. Be rest assured, we will play our A game with the main players on the 12th.
Great conditions to play cricket and the weather is nice at this time of the year. Cool breeze blows here. Nice to play cricket on this venue. Loved playing here."
