"We had to play regardless of the weather. Because, one point made no difference to us and still disillusioned how D/L method comes up with the numbers that they come up with. When you score a total in 11 overs, you face three powerplay overs, then you have a rain interruption and you have to defend with six overs with two powerplay overs," Moody said at the post match press conference last night.
After a delayed start due to rain, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 135 for 3 in 11 overs. But the target for RCB was revised to 81 from six overs after their run chase was also delayed by rain. A superlative performance of 35 runs in just 10 balls by Chris Gayle and unbeaten 44 runs in 19 balls by captain Virat Kohli helped Bangalore to score a six wicket victory with one ball remaining under D/L method.
"I am not going to apportion blame to any particular player. I thought every player did their very best under the circumstances," he said.
