Prithvi Shaw scored 40 runs and was removed by Rahul Chahar. However, David Warner stood strong on one end and remained unbeaten on 60 runs. In the end, Delhi won the match by 9 wickets and it is their third win in this tournament.
I wasn’t thinking about the dimensions: Axar Patel
The winning captain Rishabh Pant looked happy with his team's performance during the post-match presentation. "Obviously there was confusion in our camp because in the morning we got to know that Tim (Seifert) is also positive.
There was some confusion, nervousness and what are we going to do now kinda feeling, but we spoke in the team meeting and pointed out on what we can focus, there was so much noise from the outside that we thought we will focus on the match," Rishabh Pant was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
"Mostly I like to leave them (Shaw and Warner) lone as everyone knows their roles in the team. We will look to improve in every match and that's the only thing we can control, results are not in our control but we can learn from our mistakes.
On a wicket like this, I thought the ball was stopping a bit and that's why I used more of the spinners." he added.
Besides, Axar Patel gave a hilarious reply to Harsha Bhogle after being asked for his exceptional spell in this game. "I am a Gujarati that’s why (conceding just 10 runs).
I think I was bowling my best deliveries from the first ball itself. I wasn’t thinking about the dimensions of the ground that one side is short so I’ll bowl a little outside off and slower or quicker," said Axar Patel.
