Run-fest continues at DPL 2025 as New Delhi Tigers edge Outer Delhi Warriors in high-scoring thriller
Put in to bat first, New Delhi Tigers overcame an early setback when opener Dhruv Kaushik departed for 5 off 6. However, Shivam Gupta and skipper Himmat Singh rose to the occasion, stitching together a brilliant 164-run stand for the second wicket.
Shivam Gupta dazzled with a fluent 89 off 53 balls, featuring 8 fours and 4 sixes, while Himmat Singh played the perfect anchor, scoring 69 off 39 deliveries. Although the Tigers lost a few quick wickets in the middle overs, a late cameo by Keshav Dalal (19 off 9) gave the innings a final push, helping them post a formidable 222/7 in 20 overs.
Despite the Tigers' strong batting, the standout bowling performance came from Anshuman Hooda, who turned heads with a superb five-wicket haul.
Chasing 223, Outer Delhi Warriors got off to a blazing start, thanks to openers Priyansh Arya (26 off 15) and Sanat Sangwan (48 off 42), who added 69 runs in just 5.4 overs. However, a flurry of wickets in the middle overs pegged them back.
Shreshth Yadav (37* off 33) tried to steady the innings and keep the chase alive, receiving some resistance from Dhruv Singh (38* off 16), but the mounting required rate proved to be a tall order.
In the end, despite flashes of brilliance, the Warriors fell short as the New Delhi Tigers held their nerves to clinch a win by 40 runs in what was another entertaining fixture in the second edition of the Delhi Premier League 2025.
Brief Scores: New Delhi Tigers- 222/7 (20); Shivam Gupta: 89 (53), Himmat Singh: 69 (39), Anshuman Hooda: 5/51
