IPL 2020: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting wants them to play 'best cricket' in tournament's second half

Firstpost  

Delhi Capitals are closing in on a playoff berth with 12 points from six games and another two wins from the next six matches will put them through to the final week of the tournament. Dubai: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting believes that playing well in the second half of IPL will be a bigger challenge as the tracks in the UAE will get slower. So we’ll keep a lid on things, and I still think we’re six wins from eight games, but probably haven’t played our best cricket yet either,” he expressed. “We put in a lot of hard work, and you know, all that planning and preparation comes down to what the boys do on match day, so I do get pretty heavily involved - but last time more so because we started the game really poorly, lost a wicket off the first ball and Jinks got out soon after.” Commenting on the challenge that Chennai could throw at his side, Ponting said they won’t be taking the three-time champions lightly.
