We have enough firepower to win IPL 2020 title: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting
Dubai: Delhi Capitals (DC) have gotten sufficient firepower to win their maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) title if the gamers deal with a number of areas properly and play their finest recreation within the ultimate in opposition to four-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) right here on Tuesday, DC head coach Ricky Ponting stated on Monday.
“We’ve got enough firepower [to beat MI]. If they will be sitting back and thinking if there’s a team they wouldn’t want to play, it’ll be us. But it’s about us — it’s about how we turn up, how we play, as simple as that,” Ponting stated.
“We’ve been long way from our best in the games we’ve played against Mumbai so far, and once we sit down today and try to address some of the areas that we haven’t played well against them — our powerplay batting, our death bowling — if we rectify those things and play somewhere near our best then absolutely I’ve got no doubt that we’ll win,” stated the previous Australia captain.
Ponting admitted that it had been a little bit of topsy-turvy event for his group.
“I had pretty high expectations coming here. I knew we had put a really good squad of players together. We had a great start, but things got a little bit shaky towards the back-end. But the boys have managed to play two really good games out of their last three, and hopefully we can play our best game in the final,” he stated optimistically.
“Looking back, yeah it’s been a good season, but we still haven’t won anything yet — and that’s what we are here for — we are here to win the IPL, and we’ll give it our best shot,” he stated.
Delhi Capitals, of their earlier avatar reached the semi-finals within the first two editions of the IPL, in 2008 and 2009, apart from ending third in third in 2012. Then, as Delhi Capitals, they completed third, once more, final 12 months.
