“For me, essentially the most irritating factor is about not sticking to the plans that we discuss. We had been very clear with what we needed to do on this wicket to gamers like Marcus (Stoinis) and the place we needed to bowl, we did not bowl there constantly sufficient,” Bond stated on the post-match press convention.
“While you’re a workforce plan, you have to get the batsmen to hit in areas the place you need them to hit. Make it as laborious as doable for them. You don’t need them to hit you in areas that they need to hit.
“We noticed that with Stoinis — a effective participant. We knew he was making an attempt to hit straight down the bottom and we dished out balls for him to do it. In the long run, his innings was the distinction between the 2 groups.”
Stoinis flaunted his uncooked energy on strategy to an unbeaten 89 off 47 balls as LSG recovered from a poor begin to put up a aggressive whole.

The irritating factor is that we’re making the identical mistake time and again. From my viewpoint, it is disappointing.
“For 15 overs, we had been wonderful, we delivered what we needed to. One participant put us below stress. That is what Rashid Khan did the opposite evening and we made the identical errors. It did not value us within the final recreation, it positively value us tonight.
“You possibly can by no means cease good gamers from scoring runs. You’d relatively have gamers scoring 89 from 47 be at 70 from 47. These 17 to 20 runs could make a distinction. We have talked about that at Wankhede over the course of the 12 months. You’re speaking a couple of distinction of 10-15 runs,” he stated.
“There isn’t any means we must always have gone for 54 runs within the final three overs on that floor. It was simply poor.” Mohsin, who missed the entire of home season on account of a shoulder damage, helped LSG take a serious step in direction of a top-four end by holding his nerve within the last over.
Mumbai too stay in rivalry for a play-off spot regardless of the loss.
