Failed to take regular wickets

SRH bowlers failed to take regular wickets during SRH innings. They only managed to get two wickets while one of the partnerships was for 117 runs between Shane Watson and Suresh Raina for the second wicket.

Without taking regular wickets, it was very tough to defend the total like 178 runs in the good batting wicket. On the big day, the in-form bowlers failed to show their original skills against the strong batting line-up.
