MUMBAI, April 27 (PTI): All Delhi Capitals need is a little bit of momentum to get their IPL campaign back on track as they are “too good a team for the results not to change”, feels head coach Ricky Ponting.
With three wins and four losses in the first seven matches of the season, Delhi Capitals are currently seventh in the points table.
Reflecting on the first half of the season, Ponting said, “I’ve said it a few times this year where there’s 36 or 37 overs of really good stuff, and we just let it slip for two or three overs.

“And, that’s the difference in these games. We sort of gear ourselves to not overtrain in the first part of the season, try and build up along the way. But our performances have been win one, lose one, win one. So, we need to start getting that little bit of momentum.”
Ponting warned his players against trying “too hard” in the second half of IPL.
“I know we’re so close to turning it all around. We’ve all got to trust, we’ve got to believe, we’ve got to stay upbeat and positive. And if we are, things will definitely change for us.
“The harder we try from here, the harder it’s going to get. We’re just going to stay nice and relax and keep repeating things we’ve been doing. And then results will definitely come our way. We are too good a team for the results not to change,” he said ahead of Thursday’s game against Kolkata Knight Riders.
