Anrich Nortje, who starred in Delhi Capitals’ victory against Kolkata Knight Riders yesterday, believes that his side is capable of beating Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.
Anrich Nortje, who is playing maiden season of IPL, has been the profitable bowler for Delhi Capitals. In the batter’s dominating ground Sharjah, the pacer picked up three crucial wickets of KKR batsmen – Sunil Narine, Eoin Morgan, and Pat Cummins – in his four overs while only conceded 35 runs. He helped DC to regain the position in the game when they were losing as they registered the third win of the tournament.
I’m sure we can out skill them: Anrich Nortje
As he has going to play the first match against RCB, Nortje has reckoned Virat Kohli a strong side with world-class players but he didn’t rate his team lower than Royals. He believes that they are also a good side and can beat RCB if they execute their plans accurately.
“It’s going to be a good challenge. They have got a pretty good line-up, and have some big names. But, I think we have got a good team as well and the guys have been training really well,” Nortje said in a release issued by DC on Sunday.
“If we just execute our skills, perform the way we have been, I think it’s going to be a very good game, and I’m sure we can outskill them.”
Talking about his performance against RR, Nortje opined that he stuck to his skills without concerning whether the conditions favor him or not.
“I think I just try to keep it basic, and not overthink things. Once you think too much about the big or small ground, and how easy it is sometimes to hit sixes you get a bit carried away, so just stick to your skills – what you have been training, and that is what’s going to get you over the line.”
Delhi Capitals will clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Dubai where they have won two matches. It will be going to a highly competitive game considering their last performances.
