In Match 12 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025, East Delhi Riders (EDR) won a run chase of 232 runs after a great run chase against Outer Delhi Warriors (ODW) by 5 wickets with just 4 balls left.

EDR had won the toss and decided to bowl first, but ODW’s batters came out swinging. The pitch offered little help for bowlers, and runs flowed freely in the match. Still, EDR’s middle order, led by Anuj Rawat, brought the chase easily and won the match.

For EDR, Rounak Waghela was the pick of the bowlers with 2/34 from 3 overs. Rohit Yadav and Akhil Chaudhary also took important wickets. The chase didn’t start well for EDR, as they lost Sujal Singh and Hardik Sharma in the first two overs. But opener Arpit Rana kept his cool and counterattacked, scoring 79 off 45 balls with 8 fours and 4 sixes. Then came the big show from captain Anuj Rawat, who tore into the bowling with 84 off just 35 balls, smashing 9 sixes.

In the end, Mayank Rawat’s unbeaten 32 off 12 balls made sure there were no last-minute nerves. EDR crossed the line in 19.2 overs, capping off one of the most thrilling run chases of the DPL 2025 season.
