The North Delhi Strikers batted first and posted 179/8 after contributions by all three of their top-order batters.

North Delhi Strikers Innings: 179/8 (20 overs)

The first six overs of the NDS innings were brilliant. They had a powerful and quick start in the power play, with Sarthak Ranjan scoring a brisk 51 off 33 balls (7 fours, 2 sixes) and Arnav Bugga moving the scoreboard along nicely with his 39 off 26 balls. Between them, they managed to score 91 runs in the first 8 overs and started taking control of the innings. During the next period of NDS innings, we were entertained by the middle-order batters Pranav Rajuvanshi (27 off 16) and Harshit Rana (9* off 4), which helped turn what could have been a top-heavy innings into a combined effort by all the batters. PD6 bowlers tried hard to restrict runs, with Lalit Yadav (3/26) and Rajneesh Dada (3/39) each taking 3 wickets, taking turns together to bowl out the PD6 batters without their top bowler in Udhav Mohan, who also took 2 wickets with bowling figures of 2/28.

Skipper Vansh Bedi (33 off 17) and Pranav Pant (40 off 31) attempted to bring PD6 back into the chase, but wickets at regular intervals hampered their progress. Lalit Yadav's late cameo (33 off 25) could not make up the shortfall as they succumbed to a poorly-stacked innings.

Purani Dilli 6 lost by 27 runs against the North Delhi Strikers in Match 16 of the DPL 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium. PD 6 could just get 152 chasing 180 and then they were bowled out; however, Pranav Pant, Vansh Bedi, and Lalit Yadav played fighting knocks. Strikers’ clinical bowling and a strong start in batting were definitely the winning combination. Here are the main reasons why PD 6 lost the match:

1. Explosive Top-Order Start by North Delhi Strikers

Sarthak Ranjan’s quick-fire 51 off 33 balls and Arnav Bugga 39 off 26 gave a great start to NDS. Their aggressive strokeplay put the PD 6 bowlers under pressure right from the start. This base allowed NDS to post a challenging 179/8, thus setting the tone of the encounter.

2. Match-Turning Death-Over Bowling

Deepanshu Gulia’s (3/17) accuracy was incredible as he got rid of important batters on key occasions. Harshit Rana (2/25) held the pressure in the last overs with calm rhythms. These two together in the death overs not only stopped PD 6 from a late burst but also handed over the win to NDS.

3. Early Wickets and Lack of Big Partnerships

The fall of early wickets broke PD 6’s chase and therefore no momentum could be built. Though Pranav Pant, Vansh Bedi, and Lalit Yadav were able to contribute valuable knocks, none of them was able to provide an extended story. The constant demise of wickets not only drove the required rate higher but also led to their eventual downfall.
