IPL 2020: We need to work on our boundary frequency, says SRH captain David Warner

David Warner, the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad said that his team has to increase the frequency of hitting fours and sixes after they suffered a seven-wicket loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday.

"We have to try and go harder at the top. Can't help if the bowlers are bowling good lines and lengths, we need to push as hard as we can," said Warner on Star Sports after the match.

"You can see from our running between the wickets, we do that but we got to improve our boundary percentage. I saw, I think 35 dot balls, which not acceptable in T20 cricket on a wicket that was actually nice to bat on. We just mis-executed in the middle."

Till now the tournament has been a nightmare for the Hyderabad-based team. They lost both their games which have been a one-sided encounter. The Sunrisers are facing a huge dilemma in their batting line-up as they got no experienced batsman to bat in the middle order.

"For us, our strength is death bowling. I thought it was actually a difficult wicket to accelerate on. The Kolkata boys showed us that if you can keep wickets at the end, that's what wins you games. I don't regret what I did at the beginning of the game and I stick by my decision," he said.

"Pat Cummins, as he does, (bowled) Test match line and length. There was a little bit of movement here and there. All in all, it got harder through the middle. We went four or five overs for 20 and coming back with three wickets in hand at the end probably killed us a little bit there. An extra 30 or 40 runs would have been great," said Warner.
