Having suffered a 57-run loss against the Mumbai
Indians in Qualifier 1 on Thursday, JSW and GMR co-owned franchise Delhi
Capitals will look to bounce back and make the most of their second opportunity
to qualify for the Final of the Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 when they
take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium
in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
Even though the Delhi Capitals go into the match
having lost both their league encounters against SRH, their talismanic
all-rounder Marcus Stoinis believes his side is “good enough to win”.
“They have been in good form this season. They’ve
finished the season really well, raced into the playoffs, and they won last
night obviously. They’re a strong team, and have got some really good batters,
some in-form players, and some dangerous bowlers as well, so it’s going to be a
good game,” Stoinis said ahead of the big encounter.
“I think Rashid Khan is obviously a great bowler –
everyone knows that. He’s going to be dangerous and important for them. Then
you’ve got David Warner at the top of the order and then Kane Williamson, who
has been really organized and has steadied the ship for them a few times. So
like I said, they’re a dangerous team, but I think if we play some good cricket
then we’re good enough to win,” the 31-year-old expressed when asked to sum up
the SRH challenge With 314 runs and 9 wickets to his name, Stoinis has arguably
had his best season in the IPL this year, but the all-rounder believes his
team’s victories mean more than his individual performance. “It’s always nice
to make runs, but it’s always better for the team when you win. So hopefully
I’ll be doing everything that I can and prepare as well as I can tonight and
tomorrow morning, but at the end of the day just hopefully we get that win
(tomorrow),” he said.
