IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals finish the league stage with an LSG victory, and Pravin Amre highlights “many positives”

In Tuesday, May 14, the Delhi Capitals defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 19 runs in their final league stage game of the IPL 2024 at Arun Jaitley Stadium thanks to an outstanding all-around performance.

The hosts reached 208/4 in their 20 overs thanks to strikes from Abishek Porel (58 off 33 balls) and Tristan Stubbs (57 off 25 balls). After that, Ishant Sharma took three wickets for 34 runs to assist the home team in limiting the Lucknow Super Giants to 189/9, winning by 19 runs. Delhi Capitals now have 14 points at the end of their league campaign after winning seven and losing seven of their 14 games.

Assistant coach Pravin Amre of the Delhi Capitals spoke during the press conference following the game and discussed the team’s season.

“There are lots of advantages. Porel is a find for us, Stubbs is a good find, and Jake is a good find. In the previous four games, Rasikh made a good contribution. Something extraordinary is happening when an Indian bowler contributes,” he emphasised.

Every Indian bowler we had performed admirably. For us as a team, Khaleel, Ishant, and Mukesh’s bowling was excellent. The fact that we won a lot of games at home and received support made this year exceptional. Extra gratitude to the audience,” he continued.

Amre stated of Stubbs’ role in the team’s victory, “He is a player who can also play well with the spinners.” The largest benefit we observed was that. He establishes a pattern for himself, is calm, driven, and very focused. He has scored fifty runs in 20 to 22 balls in a lot of games. In today’s play, he scored 20 runs for us in the 19th over, which was crucial to our victory.”

Amre also praised Ishant’s crucial role with the ball in winning the game. “Getting three wickets in the powerplay speaks volumes,” the man stated. He’s the one who has participated in 100 Test matches, is a constant player, and can bowl on a Delhi wicket. I’m thrilled for him because, despite the opportunity he had, he performed admirably for us.”
