P Vijayran (North Delhi Strikers Captain): "I think we were short with the bat. We wanted to finish things off well but lost our way. We needed 170-175 on the board but we fought well with the ball after the powerplay. This is a great tournament and a platform for all of us to shine and for youngsters to showcase our talent. Plenty of positives for us today despite the loss and hope to do well tomorrow on Raksha Bandhan day. Thank You."
