IPL 2017, DD vs KXIP: Five mistakes that led to DD's miserable defeat

#3 Not playing their entire 20 overs

Delhi’s batting was rocked by Axar Patel and Sandeep Sharma

The fewer resources you use, lesser is the chance to win the match. Delhi failed to play their all 20 overs and it was one of the prime reasons for their low score. They failed to bat 17 balls from their allotted 120 in the innings which is a huge number in T20.

Daredevils boast of a strong and deep batting line up and to score a decent total, they needed their top order to play the most number of deliveries. But no batsman from the top five survived more than 15 balls and in their entire innings, only two batsmen managed to play more than 20 balls.
