WPL 2024: Had Quite A Few Opportunities To Finish Off The Game, But Implosion Happened, Admits DC Coach Batty
Arun Jaitley Stadium: With 15 runs needed off 12 balls, Delhi Capitals were fancied to meet the equation and take a win over UP Warriorz to seal their qualification for the 2024 WPL knockouts. But what followed was something unimaginable, as Delhi went from 124/4 to 137 all out, to lose the match by a solitary run.
After the match ended, head coach Jonathan Batty admitted the table-toppers had chances to finish the chase earlier instead of taking it deep, but the batters fell in a heap to lose a match which they should have won.
“I am trying to work out what happened in those last couple of overs at the moment. Cricket is a crazy game and I don’t think anything surprise me anymore in terms of what can happen in terms of the end of a game once the pressure is on. I think we had quite a few opportunities to finish off the game and close it out before the last couple of overs came.”
