Delhi Capitals bowling coach Munaf Patel minced no phrases forward of the must-win recreation in opposition to Mumbai Indians.

“We don’t have our main bowler in Mitchell Starc and we have to decide who has to bowl with the new ball,” Munaf stated, when requested whether or not the bowling unit has been rattled after the 10-wicket drubbing by Gujarat Titans two nights in the past.

Munaf admitted that the staff is certainly lacking Starc, who determined in opposition to returning to India after the IPL was suspended due to safety considerations.

“It will matter because he is our main fast bowler who bowls at 145 kmph, swings the ball and that too at the Wankhede wicket where both swing and bounce are available,” Munaf stated.

“It matters 100 per cent, but when there is no option, you have to think of other alternatives, you cannot get stuck thinking ‘oh he is not there now, what will happen?’. You have to move ahead with whatever you have and ensure they perform.”
