Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Aussie all-rounder said blame for the team’s run cannot be placed on anyone as they have lost a couple of close games this season.

Marsh said that it is extremely hard to win games in a tournament like the IPL. The DC star also said that chasing 195 was far too many on the wicket.

“We can’t blame anyone. We lost a couple of close games. Ultimately, if we win those, we are not talking about that sort of stuff. It’s extremely hard to win games in the IPL. Unfortunately, we have been on the wrong side of a couple of really close ones. But I still think there are a few positives to come out tonight. But chasing 195, was far too many on that wicket,” said Marsh.

Marsh also said that DC has a lot of belief in their players. The Aussie all-rounder said while there are some inexperienced players in the lineup, you have got to have faith in them to perform and said that wasn’t where the game was lost.

“We have got a lot of belief in all our players. There are some inexperienced players in our lineup, but you have got to have faith. You have to throw these guys in there. I don’t think the game was lost there tonight. There were certain areas of our game where we lost our game. That certainly wasn’t one of them,” said Marsh.
