Delhi Capitals’ captain Shreyas Iyer said that they had the upper hand in the game for a certain stages in the IPL 2020 Qualifier 1 match against Mumbai Indians, but failed to execute their plans well. Iyer mentioned when they restricted Mumbai to 101 for 4, after which they failed to restrict Mumbai as they ended with a huge score of 200 for 5. And, Delhi Capitals eventually lost the game by 57 runs.

"Very tough. I don't want to talk anything negative about the side, but going forward we have to make sure we come out with a solid mindset," he said at the post-match presentation.

He again added, "I think we were in top of the game especially in that phase when we got two quick wickets and they were 110-4 in 13 or 14 overs. We could have capitalised more and really got under their skin. We could have got two more wickets, and chased 170 on this wicket. But it's part and parcel of the game, every night is not going to be yours."

Delhi have faced four losses out of their last five matches, although they will get another chance to reach the final. While Iyer was asked how they get back to the winning zone again, he said that it's all about having a strong mind and nothing else.

"We just have to keep talking about the opportunity we get, how blessed we are to play this tournament," he said. "It's important to have a great mindset towards the game. It's not easy to be in the bubble and have a routine, but the preparation we've put in, the hard work we've put in, the results keep going here and there, but I'm really happy with the effort we've put in through the 14 games," he further added.
