DD vs CSK: Delhi Daredevils lose due to coach Fleming

After losing to Delhi Daredevils by 34 runs, Chief coach of Chennai Super Kings, Stephen Fleming, fumbles over the batsmen. Delhi had set a target of 163 runs against Chennai but they could only score 128 runs for 6 wickets. In 128, Ambati Rayudu (50) played the only half-century innings. Apart from Rayudu, only Ravindra Jadeja (27 not out) has been able to cross the 20-run mark by superkings.

Daredevils Amit Mishra (two wickets for 20 runs) and Sandeep Lamichane (one wicket for 21 runs), leg spin duo showed the magic of their spin. Trent Bolt also picked up two wickets for 20 runs while Harshal Patel got one for 23 runs.

Batsman could not be part of the partnership

Fleming told reporters after the match, "We lost the match with the bat. We bowled very well. There was a lot of runs in the last over but despite this we were happy with the score of 160 (162 runs). Delhi bowled very well during the entire innings. Due to the slow wicket, we also failed to play useful partnerships. "

He said, "The wicket was slowing down. Our batsmen were trying to make runs but the success was not getting. Spinners put pressure on us by getting wickets. "

Tired players of CSK

Asked whether after the long tournament, the players were feeling the effect of fatigue, Fleming said, "It is not that the players are showing the effect of fatigue. He (Delhi Daredevils) bowled very well. Suresh Raina was dismissed immediately after the break (Strategic Break). They caught the catch and made pressure on us. When you lose the wickets at regular intervals while chasing the average score on a slow pitch, it becomes very difficult. With each wicket we went backward and could not return. None of our batsmen could play a big innings. "

Bravo becomes weak link

Dwayne Bravo proved to be very expensive in the match and he scored 52 runs in four overs, including 26 runs in the last over of the innings, but Fleming defended his all-rounder, saying, "The problem of almost all teams of the death overs is. Earlier, Dwayne Bravo has done well for us in some matches. The nature of the game is such that, sometimes your day is quite good and sometimes it will be bad. Bravo has done a fantastic job for us in some of the tournaments. Despite this I am happy with my bowling. We just could not play good innings in batting.
