IPL5: David Hussey upbeat about Delhi clash – Cricket News Update
Kings XI Punjab's stand-in skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380, remained positive that his side can obliterate the Indian Premier League (IPL5) table-toppers, the Delhi Daredevils, in the 64th game of the tournament to be played on
Tuesday, May 15, 2012.
Kings XI are on a roll, winning four of their last five fixtures, and Hussey wants the run to last for three more as it will ensure them a place in the play-offs.
The Australian international claimed that the boys in Punjab’s camp are determined to put in their best effort and secure two valuable points for the side.
"We had a good match on Sunday. We are playing Delhi on Tuesday and it's a big game for us and we need to play equally well to get two points and move ahead. The boys are confident of putting up a good show," said the 34-year-old
cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Western-Australia-c865.
Kings XI Punjab were up against an easy opponent on Sunday, when they faced the Deccan Chargers at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali. Chargers are amongst the weakest sides in this edition of IPL; however, they took the
match against Punjab till the last ball.
Delhi Daredevils, on the other hand, are a very strong unit. It would be a tough ordeal for Kings XI Punjab to beat a side that has been so dominant in the tournament.
Tuesday’s game will be played at Feroz Shah Kotla, which is the home ground of Delhi and they have won four out of six matches played here this season.
Another factor that favours Delhi is that, they have a fully fit squad while Punjab will be missing the services of their regular skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918, who is set to miss another game due to hamstring injury.
Despite the odds stacked against them, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azhar-Mahmood-c1116 believes that they can take on Delhi Daredevils.
He said, “There can be no doubt about the fact that (Virender) Sehwag and (David) Warner are two of the most talented players in the T20 format. We know http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 is doing great but we are ready for them.”
