Getting tired of coming second in Super Overs: Williamson

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson played a sensational innings against Delhi Capitals (DC) to help Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) tie the game in Chennai. However, he was part of yet another Super Over loss and he is tired of being on the losing side. Williamson led New Zealand to the 2019 World Cup final, but after the two sides could not be separated in the Super Over, England went on to win by the virtue of scoring more boundaries on that eventful day at Lord's.

"I am getting tired of coming second in the Super Overs," Williamson said at the post-match press conference.

"Throughout the game, whenever there is a Super Over, as a batting side chasing a score that was very competitive, there are a lot of positives to take out of it."

"It is really uncanny in game of cricket that things can end in a tie but I suppose it is very, very exciting. A lot of positives, we move on really quickly to Delhi," he added.

Coming in at three, Williamson slammed an unbeaten 66 off 51 deliveries, with as many as eight fours punctuating his innings.  "It is a game of very small margins and I think, if we are being honest, we just want to do different aspects of our game a bit better. This game, if you are able to do it, then the result can change quite quickly.

"I suppose when it ends in a tie, you can look at the one run throughout the whole innings. I think, on the whole, a lot of positives."

Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant scored 53 and 37 respectively to help DC set SRH a challenging target on a difficult Chepauk pitch. However, barring Jonny Bairstow's 38 at the top of the order, Williamson did not get any support from the other end until Jagadeesha Suchith came in a smashed a six-ball 14 to help tie the game.

Williamson said, "It was nice to be there at the end, it would have been a lot nicer if I was there at the end and we were at the right side of the result. "You know there were a lot of valuable partnerships in the innings and we lacked a bit of momentum because that was the nature of the surface.

"We got very close, some positives to build on. We do not know how the surfaces will be in Delhi."

SRH are currently placed seventh in the standings with 2 points from 5 matches. SRH will next take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Delhi on Wednesday (April 28).
