Top 3 reasons why Purani Dilli 6 lost South Delhi Superstarz in the DPL 2025 match 25

Purani Dilli 6 lost the game with the margin of 46 runs to South Delhi Superstarz in Match 25 of the DPL 2025. Batting first, SDS posted 184/10 in 20 overs, with Anmol Sharma scoring 58 (37) and Vision Panchal adding 31 (18). In reply, PD6 were restricted to 138/10 despite Ekansh Dobal’s fighting 63 (42). The disciplined spells of Sumit Kumar Beniwal (5/19) and Abhishek Khandelwal (4/31) sealed the game for SDS. Here are the main reasons why Purani Dilli 6 lost the game:

1. Disastrous Powerplay for PD6

Purani Dilli 6 conceded heavily in the powerplay as Anmol Sharma and Vision Panchal attacked from the start. At the end of six overs, SDS had already put the seal on the game through their brisk runs, whereas PD6’s bowlers had not managed to strike. This allowed Superstarz to set off nicely.

2. Batting of the Highest Order from Superstarz

The top-order contributions, particularly Anmol Sharma's 58, and Vision Panchal's 31, helped SDS put up a big total. Little cameos like Kunwar Bidhuri's 22 (13) kept the scoreboard pressure high. A target of 184 was always a lot to chase for PD6.

3. Ineffectiveness of PD6 Batting Under Pressure

Purani Dilli 6’s top order collapsed early at 28/6. Although Ekansh Dobal played a valiant knock of 63, with some support from Lalit Yadav (22 off 28) and Rajneesh Dadar (15 off 17), they couldn’t provide the acceleration required. Against the brilliance of Sumit Kumar Beniwal’s 5/19 and Abhishek Khandelwal’s 4/31, PD6 eventually fell well short.
