Purani Dilli 6 locked horns with South Delhi Superstarz in Match 38 of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025, played on August 27 in a reduced seven-over contest. Batting first, PD posted 133/3, thanks to a sensational 85 off 23 balls from Dev Lakra and 38 off 14 from Yug Gupta.

The game slipped away quickly, leaving PD without answers against the onslaught. Here are the main reasons for Purani Dilli 6 defeat.

1. Dominant Bowling Performance by SDS Attackers

South Delhi's bowlers applied pressure at important times, with Aman Bharti taking 2/17 in his 2 overs. PD scored heavily through Lakra and Gupta, but the middle order did not go on with it. Wickets at important times throttled the effort. This allowed SDS to contain PD to a chasable total.

2. Overwhelming Chase Leveraged by High Strike-Rate Batting

Tejaswi Dahiya and Anmol Sharma put on a superb opening partnership, scoring almost all of the runs. Dahiya blasted 69 off 21 balls with brutal hitting and Sharma another 56 off 17 balls.

3. Reduced Overs Format Amplified Pressure

Due to the seven-over format, the bowlers had to be flawless, but PD’s attack had a hard time. Rajneesh Dadar gave away 42 runs in his 2 overs, and the others also allowed runs under pressure. Every boundary they gave away had a heavy effect on their defense. The short format perfectly suited SDS’s aggressive batting approach.
