Despite losing their first three games of IPL 2013, Delhi Daredevils pace bowler Morne Morkel is confident of finding their first win of the tournament against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Feroz Shah Kotla Friday.
One of the form teams of last year, Delhi, plagued by injuries, have found it difficult to get into their rhythm. Morkel, though, hopes results will finally start to go their way.
"It is not the best start in the tournament but luckily we have identified the areas where we have gone wrong," he told reporters. "And it is just one of those things that you need to get better and hopefully now, from tomorrow (Friday) we can get the momentum that we need going to go forward in the competition.
"The mood is very, very good the guys are still in very good spirit. We saw last year with Chennai Super Kings, they lost the first few games in a row and then they made it to the final. We are fully positive and we believe that tomorrow in front of the home crowd we can deliver something special."
Delhi have missed dashing opener Virender Sehwag sorely, and the veteran is again a doubt for Friday's game, with Delhi set to take a decision at the last moment.
"Viru is improving every day and feeling much better," Morkel added. "But I think we will make a decision tomorrow before the game.
"Couple of hours, three four hours before the match, (hopefully) he will recover tonight and he will make a decision tomorrow but he is definitely improving a lot and we can't wait to have him in the starting XI."
Morkel also expects it to be a tough game against the Sunrisers. "They have quality international and very good local players in the side and they are a very dangerous team," he said. "They have some guys who can change the momentum quite quickly and we need to try and stop those guys and get some early wickets and also score some runs upfront.
"We are looking (forward) to a fantastic game tomorrow. We are very hungry for a win so I think tomorrow s going to be a very special day."
