Delhi Capitals all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has defended his side's Indian batters after they failed to resurrect the run chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad, saying the game was not lost due to their inexperience and the 198-run target was "far too many" in the end.
In a sensational all-round effort, Marsh scalped four wickets and then struck a breezy 39-ball 63 but once he was dismissed DC imploded with the inexperienced Indian players failing to score the required runs as they lost by nine runs.
"We got a lot of belief in all of our players. There's some inexperienced players in our lineup, but you got to have faith, you got to throw those guys in there and I don't think the game was lost there tonight. There were certain areas of our game where we lost the game. That certainly wasn't one of them," Marsh said at the post-match press conference.
