WPL 2024: Left Ourselves A Few Runs Short After A Fantastic Start, Admits DC Head Coach Batty
Royal Challengers Bangalore: After becoming runners-up in WPL for the second straight time after losing Sunday’s final to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals 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.
At the same time, Batty backed the aggressive mode of cricket adopted by DC batters. "We didn't do ourselves justice with the bat (in the final). We left ourselves a few runs short of where we probably should have been after that fantastic start. As a fielding unit, full credit to our players, they were amazing. I don't think we should have done anything differently."
