North Delhi Strikers secured a 61-run win over South Delhi Superstars in the 25th match of the 2024 Delhi Premier League. Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi hosted the clash on Sunday, September 1.
Batting first, the North Delhi-based franchise managed to score a competitive first-inning score of 209/4. It came courtesy of batting contributions from Yash Dabas (68 off 40) and Vaibhav Rawal (56 off 34).
In reply, the South Delhi Superstars got off to a decent start. Openers Kunwar Bidhuri (42 off 21) and skipper Priyansh Arya (26 off 9) blazed at the top of the order. Barring these two batters, no South Delhi player could make a sizable contribution as they slumped to a paltry 148 in just 16 overs.
Strikers’ bowling spearhead Siddhartha Solanki (5/19) took a five-fer, helping his side win the first game of the day.
The 26th match of the season saw the East Delhi Riders emerge triumphant by a healthy 52-run margin against the West Delhi Lions. A complete batting display from the Riders saw them post a massive first-inning score of 222/6. Anuj Rawat (52 off 28), Sujal Singh (43 off 28), and skipper Himmat Singh (55 off 29) helped their side post a sizable target.
Chasing 223, West Delhi batters Deepak Punia (35 off 24) and skipper Hrithik Shokeen (31 off 19) top-scored for the Lions. However, their knocks went in vain as they could only manage to score 170/8 in 20 overs.
Simarjeet Singh, Harsh Tyagi, and Mayank Rawat scalped two wickets each to help their team win the second match of the day.
