Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir today blamed his fielders for their 48-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.

David Warner smashed a 59-ball 126 to power Sunrisers to an imposing 209-3. They then returned to restrict KKR to 161-7 in their stipulated 20 overs.

Disappointed at their fielding effort, Gambhir said: "We need to improve in our fielding, we've been very sloppy throughout the tournament. We really need to pull up our socks.

"It all depends on concentration, how much you can focus and how much every run means to you, it's not like we don't know how to field.

"We dropped Warner today and that's what cost us.

Bowler's couldn't have done much, but credit goes to him for the shots he played."

In the 10th over, Warner was dropped by Chris Woakes when he played a lofted drive off Kuldeep Yadav. With Woakes spilling a sitter, it went for a six.

Sunrisers captain Warner, who was adjudged the Man of the Match, described it as an outstanding performance and praised his bowlers for their effort.

"It was outstanding, we generally look to bat first and set the tone with a positive intent from ball one. We managed to maintain the run rate of 10 an over, which was amazing," Warner said.

"We (him and Dhawan) keep working around the strike and we've been gelling together over all. Credit to out bowlers: to Siraj, the way he's been learning and performing; Bhuvi is amazing.

Possible heatwave to return by mid-July

The UK could experience its third heatwave in a month by mid-July, the Met Office has said. Forecasters expect rising heat and humidity during the second weekend of July, following two weekends of unusually warm weather in late June.

June was officially the hottest on record in England, and the return of high temperatures could mean another heatwave for parts of the country. However, the Met Office cautioned that it is too early to confirm how hot conditions will get.

On Saturday, the 76-year-old rock legend will headline his final concert in Birmingham, his birthplace, alongside the original members of Black Sabbath, the band that started it all.

Billed as Back to the Beginning, the sold-out event will not only mark Osbourne’s last performance but also a rare reunion with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. Their last appearance as a full group was two decades ago.
