If only Axar gotten few more balls to play 😒

DC management screw you, you are not utilising your in form batsman😡

11.10 pm So both sides win the away match in the head to head encounters just a few days apart. Delhi win in Hyderabad, Sunrisers return the favor taking the result in Delhi. The Capitals now sit alone in last place on four points. Sunrisers meanwhile have clawed up to be joint seventh place with KKR and Mumbai on six points. All three of them are four points behind the four-team logjam at the top of the table.

Can’t marsh make 5 more runs 🤔 😆

David Warner: We were off a bit with the ball, but I think Mitch Marsh bowled fantastic. He was our best bowler. To come up 9 runs short is disappointing. I don't think the pitch slowed down a lot, they took pace off. When you lose wickets in the middle it can be extremely difficult. He's (Axar) in good touch. For us it was about, we get off to a good start and we know that him and me will have to handle their spinners with the ball spinning back in. Holding Axar can be difficult. We have been losing too many wickets through the middle.

Delhi Capitals captain David Warner: "Losing by nine runs, it actually was a pretty nice wicket. Getting in and out of our overs, we were a fraction off tonight. I think Mitch Marsh bowled fantastic through the middle overs and was our best bowler, but coming up nine runs short is pretty disappointing. They took the pace off quite a lot. At the end of the day when you get two guys off to a good start, it's important that we try to capitalize on that and one of them go on to score a big one. If we were able to do that, it sort of takes it out. But when you lose wickets in the middle and there's no partnerships unfolding, it makes it pretty difficult. [On Axar Patel's batting position] He's in good touch and good form, but for us it's about we got off to a good start and him at the back end... we knew it would be vital with their spinners spinning into left-handers and we only had me and Axar [as lefties]. We had two guys going at that point and holding Axar back at the back end, it can be difficult but they're the challenges that present us when we're actually in the moment and maybe we can think about that, sending him earlier. We just have to build momentum through the middle with the bat. We need one or two players to get 80+ scores and win games for us. We've been losing too many wickets throughout the middle and that's where we're suffering a little bit. Our senior players have to take responsibility. One of us has to get a big total and then it takes care of itself from there."

He’d have been sent earlier😒 he is a proper all rounder

Heinrich Klaasen: About time I did something in IPL, pleased about it. Was a good team effort, glad the batters played with freedom, good signs to come. We got the players to do it up front, hopefully we can take this result and form in the next game. I have to fit in (playing well against spinners), you have to adapt, can't be one dimensional. The wicket was starting to hold a bit more, and it also spun a bit. Back of a length kept balls skidding on, so we asked our bowlers to drag back the length and make it difficult for their batters. He (Abhishek Sharma) has been bowling well in the nets, asked him to try and spin the ball as much he can.
