"The boys just love going out there and enjoying themselves. Today, we went a step further to post the biggest total yet in the tournament, and finished off the chase by a big margin," Madan Lal, former Indian coach, told Cricketnext after the win.
The chill factor, too, has posed many a hindrance to a lot of teams while fielding, but the former India all-rounder was extremely pleased with his side's fielding display so far in the tournament.
"It doesn't bother them. They are young boys, and even though Paul Nixon is on the wrong side of the 30s, he, with his enthusiasm and approach to the game in a professional manner, has made the rest of them follow his lead," the Delhi Jets coach adds.
Another win could seal Delhi Jets' spot in the semi-final of the inaugural competition, but Madan Lal won't allow his team to let their guard down.
"There is a long way to go in the tournament. And even if we do seal our spot early, it doesn't tell us to take it easy. It's a perfect opportunity for each individual to raise the bar for the other."
