Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer said his otherwise outstanding bowlers "lost it in powerplay" after a disastrous start prevented them from posting a challenging total in the final against Mumbai Indians. Losing three early wickets pegged the Capitals back as they could post only a modest 156 for seven. MI skipper Rohit Sharma then led his side to a comfortable win with his magnificent half-century. They raced to 61-1 in the first six overs that set a strong foundation for an easy chase. "It's just the fatigue that crept in may be, bowlers just lost it in the powerplay," a disappointed Iyer said.
