LSG captain KL Rahul: "Obviously not the most ideal start after winning the toss and putting them into bat. The bowlers said it was sticky and moving a bit so there was something in it for them but they didn't put it in the right areas. When you have quality batters in the opposition, they will make you pay. Conway and Ritu played some brilliant shots so it's something for us to learn and get better at. When you bowl first on a fresh wicket, it takes a bit of time to understand what a good pace and line to bowl is on that wicket. Six overs going for 70-odd is probably what cost us the game in the end, but I can't pinpoint one thing. There were phases of the game that we didn't win and let it slip away. Kyle Mayers has come in with some real good form. I was watching some games that West Indies played and he was smoking the ball. It's good to see him come here with the same approach. In Lucknow, he hit the ball a mile and he did the same today. It's good to see what he's done with the opportunity. Bish also did very well. It's good to see different players putting their hands up to give us the best chance to win the game and that's something for us to take forward in the tournament. I think we were in the game in the second half quite a lot and got off to a really good start but lost a few wickets and kept pressing on. It's not often that you'll get 4 or 5 batsmen caught on the boundary. If a few of them had gone over, we would have been on the winning side. Sometimes in T20, those margins don't go your way."
