Delhi Capitals all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has said that it is extremely hard to win games in the IPL after their nine-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderbad on Saturday.

Marsh was a star with both bat and ball for DC on the day as he picked up four wickets and scored a blistering knock of 63. Ultimately, his efforts went in vain as DC suffered their sixth loss of the tournament.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Aussie all-rounder said blame for the team’s run cannot be placed on anyone as they have lost a couple of close games this season.

Marsh said that it is extremely hard to win games in a tournament like the IPL. The DC star also said that chasing 195 was far too many on the wicket.

“We can’t blame anyone. We lost a couple of close games. Ultimately, if we win those, we are not talking about that sort of stuff. It’s extremely hard to win games in the IPL. Unfortunately, we have been on the wrong side of a couple of really close ones. But I still think there are a few positives to come out tonight. But chasing 195, was far too many on that wicket,” said Marsh.

Marsh also said that DC has a lot of belief in their players. The Aussie all-rounder said while there are some inexperienced players in the lineup, you have got to have faith in them to perform and said that wasn’t where the game was lost.

Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp Fire Delhi Capitals To 10-wicket Win Against Gujarat Giants In WPL

Shafali Verma smashed a 19-ball fifty as Delhi Capitals thrashed Gujarat Giants by 10 wickets in the Women’s Premier League.

Shafali Verma’s explosive unbeaten half-century and Marizanne Kapp’s sensational five-wicket haul fired Delhi Capitals to a massive 10-wicket win against Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League on Saturday. Kapp broke the back of Gujarat Giants’ innings with a stunning spell of 4-0-15-5, taking the top four wickets in the line-up as Delhi bowlers produced a clinical display to keep the opponents to a lowly 105 for 9 at the DY Patil Stadium here. In reply, Shafali came out firing on all cylinders, clobbering 10 fours and five sixes to produce a ruthless knock of 76 not out off 28 balls in the company of captain Meg Lanning (21 not out from 15 balls) as DC completed the chase in a mere 7.1 overs.

Delhi Capitals made their intentions clear right from the word go, with Shafali taking a special liking for the Gujarat bowler Ashleigh Gardner, smacking her for four fours and a six in the fourth over to collect 23 runs.

Shafali continued to attack, this time hitting Tanuja Kanwar for a couple of sixes to help Delhi knock off the majority of their target, with 87 runs coming in the powerplay.

Shafali brought up her second half-century in the WPL, from just 19 balls as the senior pro in Lanning happily chose to take the backseat and enjoy the right-handed batter’s power hitting, which tore apart the Gujarat’s bowling attack.

Earlier, Kapp produced a stunning spell at the top to reduce the Giants to a precarious 33 for 6 after seven overs, a position from which they could never recover.

After Kapp set the tone, the others continued to apply constant pressure on the Gujarat batters.
