[1]Delhi Daredevils skipper Mahela Jayawrdene reckons that the six-day "unusual" gap between their first two games in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament has served some of his players well since they had played a lot of cricket coming into this tournament.
Delhi had defeated IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders on October 13 and face impressive Auckland Aces tomorrow.
"It's been good (gap). An unusual gap for us [though]. We just needed to make sure that we had a couple of good practice sessions, boys had a bit of free time for as them as well. For some guys it is good because, they had played a lot of cricket so it's bit of a breathing space," Jayawardene said.
"But once we start playing we know that we have three back to back matches. So, the focus has been to make sure that we prepare ourslves for that. It is a big game for us tomorrow and we can't take anything for granted," he added.
Delhi are second in the Group A points table behind Titans and Jayawardene said if they perform well, everything else will fall automatically.
"What is important is that we go out and perform what we do day in and day out so that?s what we tell the guys. Keep it simple focus on our strengths and try and execute a good game plan. And results will take care of themselves. We need to focus. We are not going to win matches by just turning up, we need to keep performing, we have to be consistent and win that. So we have to try and do that," he said.
