East Delhi Riders continued their great run in Match 27 of the DPL 2025 with a comprehensive win that solidified their place at the head of the table. Batting first, East Delhi Riders had a decent first innings courtesy of a fluent half-century from A. Rana and some late fireworks from A. Rawat. In response, the Outer Delhi Warriors struggled to get going as they remained bogged down from the start and fell victim to an accurate and fairly quickdisciplined bowling effort spearheaded by an experienced pace duo. This result not only brought East Delhi Riders two more points, but it also marginally improved their Net Run Rate and put pressure on the chasing teams as they push for a playoff position.

 Key Stats 

Purani Dilli 6 lost to the East Delhi Riders by 22 runs in DPL 2025 Match 27 on August 19. EDR got 172/6 in their 20 overs, courtesy of a powerful top-order contribution. The PD's batting was explosive; however, they could not create enough partnerships at important moments. PD6's bowling was also inconsistent at key periods and failed to stop the EDR momentum. Eventually, PD6 lost. Here are the main reasons why Purani Dilli 6 lost the match.

1. East Delhi Riders’ explosive top-order batting 

Arpit Rana smashed 64 runs off 47 balls and Anuj Rawat stayed undefeated with 59 runs off 36 balls which in turn set the stage for a big score by the Riders. Their attacking strategy effectively chewed up PD6’s tactics in the powerplay overs. The partnership was the platform for the EDR to reach 172/6 and by so doing, they took the game in their stride.

2. PD6’s inconsistent bowling and lack of breakthroughs

The bowlers were not successful in tightening their grip and as a result, Dev Lakra and Aayush Singh gave away runs, though they did pick up two wickets each. Udhav Mohan and Rajneesh Dadar were marginally better but nobody could come up with a game-changing spell. The lack of penetration meant the EDR was free to score at will in the innings.

3. PD6’s chase: strong hitters but poor partnerships and middle-order collapse 

Vansh Bedi (48 off 26) and Samarth Seth (41 off 30) powered PD6 to a good contribution, but the team went off track, getting out cheaply. Manjeet was run out, and Kush Nagpal and Dev Lakra were also dismissed, which stopped the flow of runs. The middle order and lack of partnerships led to the downfall of PD6 in the chase despite hitting hard in the end.
