Whoever handles wicket better will win: McGrath

Mumbai: CNN-IBN spoke to Delhi Daredevils' Glenn McGrath ahead of the big semi-final against a team led by a man he only knows too well — Shane Warne.

Glenn McGrath: Everything that has happened in the past has obviously doesn't matter. We are starting afresh. Points don't matter anymore. It's a big game, different ground, I think both teams have finished well; Delhi Daredevils specially finished well. We are fairly confident, we are looking forward to playing well and if we can do that, hopefully we can take away the win.

Roma Khanna: Do you feel in a way you (Delhi) have a lot more experienced players whereas Rajasthan Royals have quite a few youngsters who are perhaps not used to this kind of pressure, a do-or-die situation?

Glenn McGrath: Yes, we have got a lot of experience in our team and hopefully that will help our younger guys. Obviously, the Rajasthan Royals have a lot of experience in Shane Warne, Shane Watson and the other guys. So, I think it is pretty evenly matched. I think whoever plays better on that wicket will win.

Roma Khanna: What do you think will be the key in the match that will make the difference between the two?

Glenn McGrath: Whoever handles the wicket better. The wicket here (at the Wankhede stadium) does a bit more of seam movement and probably a little bit more bounce. So, those two things will be big factors in the game and whoever handles that better, should win the game.
