Batting first, East Delhi Riders posted 118/6 in their allotted 10 overs, with Suryansh Raina leading the charge. The opener smashed 42 off just 19 balls to give his team a strong start. Sujal Singh also played a quick cameo, scoring 14 off six deliveries, according to a press release from DPL.
However, the standout performer with the ball was Digvesh Rathi. He bowled two excellent overs, conceding just nine runs and picking up two wickets to put the brakes on Purani Dilli 6’s chase.
In reply, Purani Dilli 6 started confidently, with openers Aryan Gaur and Samarth Seth adding 30 runs in the first two overs. However, Simarjeet Singh provided the breakthrough when Seth chopped the ball onto his stumps.
Captain Anuj Rawat then joined Gaur at the crease, and the pair added 21 runs before Rawat was dismissed for 15 off nine balls. Gaur continued to hold the innings together and kept his team in the chase.
Purani Dilli 6 needed 40 runs from the final three overs. Pankaj Jaswal provided some hope by hitting a six, but he was dismissed off the very next delivery while attempting another big shot.
The equation came down to 26 runs needed from the final two overs. Simarjeet bowled an excellent penultimate over, giving away only five runs and leaving Purani Dilli 6 needing 21 from the last six balls.
The chase eventually proved too difficult as Purani Dilli 6 managed only 108/6 in their 10 overs, handing East Delhi Riders a 10-run victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium that will host the international fixtures between India and Afghanistan next month.
Despite the defeat, Purani Dilli 6 finished third in the points table and secured a place in the playoffs. They will now face Outer Delhi Warriors in the Eliminator, with a place in the next stage at stake. (ANI)

Rahul Dravid on Team India WTC Final Scenario: टीम इंडिया ने श्रीलंका को पहले टेस्ट में हराकर अपने वर्ल्ड टेस्ट चैंपियनशिप के फाइनल में पहुंचने की उम्मीदों को जिंदा रखा है और दूसरे टेस्ट में भी अपनी स्थिति मजबूत कर ली है। इस सीरीज के बाद टीम इंडिया को न्यूजीलैंड के खिलाफ 2 और अपने घर पर ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ 5 टेस्ट मैचों की सीरीज खेलनी हैं। इन दोनों सीरीज में टीम इंडिया का प्रदर्शन तय करेगी कि वो फाइनल में पहुंचेगी या नहीं। हालांकि टीम इंडिया को पूर्व कोच राहुल द्रविड़ को पूरा भरोसा है कि शुभमन गिल की अगुवाई वाली टीम WTC के फाइनल में जगह बना सकती है। लेकिन उन्होंने न्यूजीलैंड दौरे पर रोहित शर्मा, विराट कोहली चेतेश्वर पुजारा और अजिंक्य रहाणे जैसे बल्लेबाजों की कमी खलने की भी बात कही।
Duleep Trophy | 'We will chase this target easily...': West Zone's Musheer Khan
[popcorn number="111" desc="No. of runs put on by Musheer Khan and Ruturaj Gaikwad for the fourth wicket" class="Default"]
Till one-drop Musheer Khan (96, 8x4, 2x6) and No. 5 Ruturaj Gaikwad (66, 7x4) were at the crease, West Zone looked comfortable during their 287-run second-innings chase against North Zone in the Duleep Trophy quarter-final at Bengaluru on Tuesday. However, Musheer’s dismissal, followed by two more quick wickets has left West Zone on 220-7 at the end of Day Three, needing another 67 runs for victory on the final day.
However, Musheer, who missed his fifth first-class century by just four runs, is confident that No. 6 Urvil Patel (17 not out) and the remaining batters — Tanush Kotian, Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande — will get the job done.
“I have a lot of faith in Urvil; he’s a gutsy player. I have a lot of confidence in Tanush, Shardul bhai and Tushar bhai as well. I trust them. I’m sure even if one of them clicks tomorrow [Wednesday], we will chase this target easily,” Musheer told mid-day over the phone from Bengaluru on Tuesday.
Musheer, who has scored four centuries in 17 first-class matches, felt he should have finished the job himself though. “I was enjoying my innings without keeping any milestone in mind. I just thought that if I can help my team win this one, we would’ve gained a lot of confidence for the upcoming season. If we win, this will be among my best innings so far,” Musheer added.
