Upasana Yadav helps North Delhi Strikers win Women’s Delhi Premier League title
A late assault from Mayank Rawat including seven fours and six sixes, powered the East Delhi Riders to 183/5 while three wicket hauls from Simarjeet Singh and Raunak Waghela ensured a thrilling 3-run victory against the South Delhi Superstarz.
The South Delhi Superstarz faltered early in the run chase. Despite being on course with their run rate, they lost the dangerous duo of Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni to Bhagwan Singh and Simarjeet Singh, respectively. Impact player Kunwar Bidhuri was also caught and bowled by Mayank Rawat to finish the powerplay at 57/3.
Sumit Mathur was the next batsman to go after he constructed a 22-run partnership with Tejaswi Dahiya. Dahiya was in fine form, completing a half century, while Mayank Gupta and Dhruv Singh perished cheaply.
