Shri Arun Jaitley Stadium: East Delhi Riders secured a five-wicket victory over Purani Dilli 6 in a rain-shortened match of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) T20 at the Shri Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday. Mayank Rawat’s 2-15 with the ball and blistering 55 not out off 27 balls with the bat led the East Delhi Riders to their second consecutive victory in the league.

With the match reduced to 18 overs due to a delayed start caused by a wet outfield, Purani Dilli 6 set a target of 143 for East Delhi Riders on what was a tricky batting track.

East Delhi Riders started steadily, but Sujal Singh's (18 off 14) dismissal in the 5th over left them at 38/1 at the end of the Power-play. Despite their flawless chase in the previous match, the East Delhi Riders struggled as they lost two crucial wickets in the sixth over, with Shivam Sharma trapping both Anuj Rawat (18 off 17) and Pranav Pant (1 off 2) LBW.
