What did the captains say?
Pat Cummins, Sunrisers Hyderabad
We will bowl. We have talked about some things, not yet a complete game. Want to do the basics well. This is about giving themselves a chance, everyone is a match-winner. We bat very deeply. Support has been amazing, perhaps they were not the result we wanted but the crowd has been amazing. Walking in the field, this is one thing that we can judge ourselves.
Exer Patel, Delhi Capital
It must have been fielded before, looks like a good wicket and should not change much. Will see to get a good score and restrict them. The last phase is here and these are the winnings. We have tried to keep the environment light, we were not thinking of these things at the beginning of the tournament and we played well, we want to go with the same mentality in these games and do not allow the situation to pressurize. We have different players, we have not depended on a player. It is important to continue speed. We want close sports, even if we have lost, we do not want to lose with a big margin. The same combination, three seamers and three spinners.
