The other three teams for knockout are Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings.

Speaking on the team’s performance in the post-match performance, Do Plessis said, “We were excellent in the field today. People showed a lot of fighting. The bowlers picked the pitch, obviously not the easiest pitch to bat, maybe the bowlers did not make the job a little easier. The bowlers have made a little easier.

In addition, the right -handed batsman appreciated the mentality of young unaccomitated Indian batter Sameer Rizvi during the chase, where he scored 39 runs with the help of six fours and a six on a difficult wicket where many senior players failed to score runs.

“Rizvi showed some signs today, she has found some talent there. When you are playing against such a powerful team, you need to stay in your best all the time and unfortunately we were for 17-18 overs and then we were very average in the last two overs, with the bat, you feel very good.

Finally, Du Plessis said the team regularly recalled the services of Skipar Axar Patel (sick) and left-arm speedster Mitchell Starc (chosen) in today’s game against the Mumbai-based franchise.

“If you see in such a way that Mich Santner bowled, he is a very similar bowler. To bowl four overs, I think he has gone for about 10 runs. Exer is the type of class bowler who is an internationally proven -b -hand spinner. Thus he loved like a bowl.
