The South Delhi Superstarz failed early in the chase. Despite fielding their run rate, they lost the dangerous duo of Priyansh Arya (6) and Ayush Badoni (7) to Bhagwan Singh and Simarjeet Singh respectively. Impact player Kunwar Bidhuri (22 off 19) was also caught and bowled by Mayank Rawat to end the powerplay at 57/3.
Sumit Mathur (18) was the next batsman to depart after building a 22-run partnership with Tejaswi Dahiya. Dahiya was in good form, completing a half-century, while Mayank Gupta (1) and Dhruv Singh (1) perished cheaply.
Vision Panchal powered on for a nine-ball 25 with three sixes and a four, but Raunak Waghela dismissed him to leave South Delhi Superstarz at 109/7 in 13.5 overs.
With Tejaswi Dahiya regularly finding the boundary, South Delhi Superstarz needed 26 runs off 12 balls. Dahiya bowled a maximum against Simarjeet in the penultimate over but was dismissed two balls later. In the final over, Digvesh Rathi (21*) scored a six and two fours but South Delhi Superstarz finished short at 180/9 in 20 overs.
Choosing to bat first, the East Delhi Riders lost both their openers in the powerplay; Raghav Singh pinged Anuj Rawat (10) while Kuldip Yadav removed Sujal Singh (5) to leave East Delhi Riders at 27/2 in 4.5 overs.
Himmat Singh (20) and Hardik Sharma (21) briefly steadied the ship with a 24-run partnership. Neither batsman converted their opening as Raghav Singh scalped Himmat Singh again and Hardik Sharma was accounted for by Dhruv Rathi, before the 10-over mark.
Mayank Rawat (78*) increased the intensity and combined with Kavya Gupta (16) for a partnership of 47 runs off 35 balls. Kavya Gupta became Kuldip Yadav's second wicket of the night to leave East Delhi Riders at 116/5 in 15.4 overs.
Rawat led the East Delhi Riders through the deadly games and scored a half-century off 34 balls. Supported by Harsh Tyagi (17 off 12) at the other end, Rawat crushed Ayush Badoni in the final over by smashing five sixes (6,0,6,6,6,6) to propel East Delhi Riders to 183 /5 in 20. overs.
