West Delhi Lions Seal Thrilling Win Over New Delhi Tigers

West Delhi Lions defeated New Delhi Tigers by 15 runs (DLS method) in a rain-hit match of the Delhi Premier League 2025. Batting first, the Tigers could only score 138/8 in their 20 overs. The Lions’ bowlers were spot on, with Manan Bhardwaj (2 for 23) and Anirudh Chowdhary (2 for 26) doing the main damage. Himmat Singh made 30, while Vaibhav Rawal played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 64 from 50 balls to help his team reach a fighting total.

Chasing a revised DLS target of 154, the Lions had a bad start at 1/1 but quickly fought back. Ankit Kumar smashed 25 off just 14 balls, giving them a quick boost. Captain Nitish Rana (8 off 8) and Ayush Doseja (13 off 15) kept the scoreboard ticking as rain stopped the game. When play was halted, the DLS showed the Lions were 15 runs ahead of the required score, giving them the win.
