When the Delhi Capitals play the Mumbai Indians in their next WPL 2025 encounter at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, February 28, they hope to maintain the momentum from their decisive victory in their last game.
“It was a much better performance but there is still some room for improvement,” Head Coach Jonathan Batty stated after the team’s six-wicket victory in the previous game. We put those parts of the jigsaw puzzle together a little better. We executed our skills with a little more precision and sharpness, and the team as a whole gave a really strong performance.”
The following day, the Delhi Capitals will also play the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In response to a question concerning the difficulties of playing on consecutive days,
Batty stated, “But if you are playing good cricket, it can be really nice to play a couple of games in quick succession.” “Playing back-to-back games is tough physically for players.”
“We are obviously trying to manage the players’ workload, and hoping to play some really good cricket again against MI and then obviously roll into the RCB game the following day,” he stated.
In the opening match in Vadodara, the Delhi Capitals defeated the Mumbai Indians by two wickets in an exciting final-ball finish. However, the Delhi Capitals are now in second place in the points standings, while their opponents are at the top.
The Englishman stated, “It’s evident that all the teams are well-balanced this year,” in reference to the game versus the Mumbai Indians. We are aware of MI’s strength and that they are a demanding client. To defeat them, we must be at the top of our game.
“Clearly, we have control over our destiny. “We must continue to strive for victory in every game,” he said.
