A happy MS Dhoni gave credit to his bowlers and said that the dew eased the pitch to bat in the second innings as Chennai Super Kings made an easy six wicket win over Delhi capitals on Tuesday.
Dhoni said in the post-match presentation, "The wicket went more than expected but in the second innings there was little better for the batsmen."
They said, "The bowlers did a fantastic job to restrict them to less than 150. Our batsmen prefer a little speed on the bat and if we do, we look a bit better."
He said that despite being the fastest bowler we had a huge setback in the form of cash loss but we have all our support. I never thought that we can be a good fielding side but meditation is on being a safe fielding side. We can stop the leakage. We scored some runs with our experience but we have not seen too much death in the last two matches, so still there are areas to work for us but overall it was a good win. "
Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer felt that his team was less than 10-15 but he said that there is still a positive situation.
"The pitch was really tough, especially for new batsmen, it was a turning and a catch, so we decided to bat first, we were 10-15 runs short, but we could have limited them in the powerplay. There are all positives to pick from this game. "Aiyar said.
Shane Watson was adjudged Man of the Match for a tense 44-run knock in 26 balls.
"The wicket was slightly better than Chennai, so it was good to get something out of the middle, I do not think I would bowl more because I got hurt by Big Bash, I am just trying to fit." For batting, he said.
