“We know we have to win all of our five games to qualify for the playoffs. It’s a tough ask, but we’ve won three of our last four games. There is confidence within the group. We certainly expect more from our batters, but there’s still hope and fight in this team, which one will see in our next game,” Hopes mentioned.

Delhi Capitals will tackle Royal Challengers Bangalore on the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
Hopes mentioned DC will look to limit RCB to a “manageable” rating.
“We need to control the run rate in the middle overs. We are a good death bowling unit and start well with the ball. We know that RCB’s batting order is top-heavy. And if we can cause trouble early on, then we can restrict them to a manageable score,” the coach mentioned.
When requested about all-rounder Mitchell Marsh’s availability for the sport towards RCB, Hopes mentioned, “Mitchell Marsh is fit and good to go. He’s training with the team. He was unwell ahead of the last game, but he is preparing for the next game.”
