In Mumbai they would have won but succumbed in the last two overs after Yusuf Pathan went out and even last night they started well against Delhi in their own den but then lost early wickets and then their run rate slowed down in the middle part of the innings.
These problems needs to be solved out and the team should now contribute individually rather than depending on one man that is Yusuf Pathan.
After last night’s match, Captain Shane Warne admitted: “It was a home game for us and the crowd was fantastic, but unfortunately we just did not play very well in all departments right from ball one. We got off to a pretty good start and we were 45 for two in 4.5 overs, but from there it all went backwards. When you don’t win games questions will be asked of every player in the side. We just played poorly tonight and we have had a horrendous start to the tournament, but we had similar starts before and we have the ability to come back.”
But he is upbeat and looking forward to the rest of the tournament as he said: “It’s still a long tournament with 12 games to go, but we need to bounce back as quick as we can and try and get some sort of momentum going.”
