Those batters who got out in the middle phase in the innings, they get a bat on one of those and it goes for four runs, we get 160 or 180 and it’s a completely different game

After becoming runners-up in WPL for the second straight time after losing Sunday’s final to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Jonathan Batty admitted that his team fell a few runs short after a blistering start to their innings, resulting in them being bowled out for 113.
DC had a blazing start by making 61 runs in the powerplay, also the joint-highest score in the first six overs of this WPL season and looked set to make a big total. But once the spinners came in, DC crumbled like nine pins, mainly due to their poor shot selection, falling from 64-0 in seven overs to losing their all ten wickets in just 49 runs.
