Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals, Match 66 - Live Cricket Score

Faf du Plessis:

It was definitely important. We aimed to finish in the top four, but securing a top-five spot was probably a fair outcome for us. (On where things didn’t go as planned) — it's still one of those unanswered questions, we've discussed it several times in the dressing room. Confidence, lack of runs — when you're performing well, you tend to edge out those fine margins. In every match, there's that key 5–6 over phase with both bat and ball, and in a tournament of this scale, it can make all the difference. The IPL revolves around young talent and domestic players — Vippy stood out for us, not just with the ball but with the bat too. It's rare to find a legspinner who can contribute as an all-rounder. A couple of batters in our side, if they keep learning and evolving, they’ve got a bright future ahead.

Shreyas Iyer:

It was a great total. The pitch had a few tricky and unpredictable bounces. It was definitely above par. I feel we didn’t maintain discipline in our line and length. We ended up overusing the short ball. Couldn’t quite hit that good, hard length. (On the IPL) — It’s bigger than even the Premier League. You’ve got to keep a calm and positive mindset. Every new day is a fresh opportunity. You need to stay focused on the present. We’ll revisit our strategies and look to return with clearer plans. As for the finger (injury update), it should be good to go for the next match.
