Warner said it is difficult to choose from the pace weaponry he has at his disposal, especially with South African Dale Steyn and New Zealand's Trent Boult in the dug-out.

"It's challenging to pick one out of Steyn and Boult, we try to get the balance right which we got right tonight," Warner said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Sent into bat, Hyderabad put on 150/6 but then restricted the Kings to 130/9 in their 20 overs, thus pocketing an easy 20-run win.

"I thought 160 was par. Mine was a key dismissal and the boys bowled fantastic after that. The bowlers won us the match and today it was a fantastic effort," he said.

Warner too contributed with the bat scoring 58 of 41 deliveries and added he liked the duel between him and his Australian team-mate Mitchell Johnson.

"We face (Mitchell) Johnson a lot at home and my thinking was to make room and score runs. I got the better of him today, but he might get me next time," the skipper concluded.
