5:54 PM IST Time for the presentations...
5:53 PM IST One of the stars of Punjab's win, Harpreet Brar is in next for a chat. He says that he enjoyed bowling on this surface. Shares that he was a bit nervous after conceding 13 runs in the first over. Mentions that he knew he could come back, having watched the first innings. States that his plan was to bowl dot balls and put the new batter under pressure. Also says that he tried to bring the batter on the front foot.

5:49 PM IST David Warner, the skipper of Delhi is in for an interview. He says that they wanted to restrict Punjab to a lower total than this one. Adds that they got more than they should have and states that Prabhsimran Singh batted well. Feels that dropping catches did not help and when you lose 6 wickets for 30 after a good start, you are not going to win many games. Mentions that they will look to play with pride and play with freedom. Feels that it was another disappointing effort with the bat after the start they had. Ends by saying that they have found the right combination but they kept losing 4-5 wickets in the middle which is something you cannot do at this level.
