Delhi: The Delhi Capitals (DC) lost in an important match against Mumbai Indians (Mi) on Wednesday, which led to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoff race. At the same time, with this victory, the Mumbai team confirmed their place in the playoffs. Delhi team acting captain Faf du Plessi pointed to the weaknesses of the team after the match and admitted that the last two overs overshadowed their team.
Duplesey said, “Today we played good cricket on the field. The players showed tremendous combance and the bowlers performed brilliantly. The pitch was not easy to bat, which helped the bowlers. Our bowling unit did a great job till about 17-18 overs, but in the last two overs we lost the riots.
He praised the young player Rizvi, saying, “Rizvi showed some glimpse of talent, when you play against such a powerful team, the top level performance is necessary throughout the time. Unfortunately, we have been good for 17-18 overs, but then in the end we scored a lot.”
Regarding batting, Du Plessi said, “A good start on this type of pitch is very important, but our batting does not stand up to the expectations. If we look at the entire season, in the last 6-7 matches we either be weak in batting or in bowling. If you want to make a place in the top four in a league like IPL, then continuity is necessary.”
He further said, “Bowlers like Mitchell Santner can prove to be extremely fatal. Akshar Patel is an internationally proven bowler and (Mitchell) Stark is also fantastic. Spinners perform like gold on such pitches.”
