Delhi skipper Virender Sehwag said the pitch for Tuesday's match next to the Bangalore was not to their liking. Chasing 161 to win, Bangalore romped home with three balls to standby.
"The ball was not coming on to the bat. It's not easy to hit boundaries, awaiting the ball is there to be hit. They cut a lot of grass, which we didn't want, but we have to carry on with whatever wicket we get," Sehwag said after the match.
The Delhi skipper responsible poor attempt by his bowlers for the defeat.
"I think we gave too many border balls in the first six overs. They were not beating boundaries but still they were receiving boundaries because of our bad bowling.
"After they got 65 in first six overs, we came back well. Morne Morkel bowled well, Yogesh Nagar took one wickets for us. At the end also we didn't bowl well," he said.
Sehwag admitted that they will be under tremendous pressure now in the tournament as they cannot pay for to lose from here on. "Pressure on Delhi now so expectantly we will do well in next games. We have to back ourselves and truthful our basics," he said.
Bangalore captain Daniel Vettori said the 82-run stand between Virat Kohli (56) and Chris Gayle (26) was vital to team's win.
“Kohli played an amazing innings. That partnership at the start set it up for us. Delhi fought back hard, lucky Syed Mohamad came out and played with a cool head... he's been a good find for us so far. Today was out best bowling presentation as well," he said.
Man-of-the-match Virat Kohli said, "I've always looked to bat No. 3, I can get myself in and play my shots. I love it. I was really keen we win this match. We lost three in a row and now winning two back to back gives us some impetus."
