We did not bowl in right areas: Steyn

Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Dale Steyn today rued that their bowlers performed below par at a critical stage of the match a day after Kieron Pollard's brutal assault guided Mumbai Indians to a seven-wicket win in a Pepsi Indian Premier League game.
"I think we were in a situation where we could have won the game last night. A little bit of better planning, not with the rotation of the bowlers but where we bowled may have won us the game. Not necessarily who bowled, we may have hit our areas a little bit wrong," Steyn told PTI here.
Insisiting that important lessons have been learnt from yesterday's game, Steyn was optimistic about the team good performances in their last two league games before the play-offs.

"But lessons learnt, we have got two more games and we need to win them. So we will try and do that," Steyn said.
Sunrisers were in complete control of the game, before Big-hitting Pollard pulled the rug from under the visitors' feet with a whirlwind knock of 66 off only 27 balls.
"Last night we had a superb guy come out and play brilliantly and took the game away from us in 12 balls. That happens. It is cricket. We have done that to teams in this IPL and it has happened to us a couple of times as well," said Steyn, who has been roped in as brand ambassador for Evolution Sports Nutrition in which former South African cricketer and Mumbai Indians fielding coach Jonty Rhodes is the director.
