Central Delhi Kings Delhi Premier: Riding on impressive half-centuries by Vaibhav Kandpal and Yash Dabas, the North Delhi Strikers cruised to a seven-wicket win over Central Delhi Kings in the fourth match of the Adani Delhi Premier League T20 at Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Monday.

Dhruv Kaushik's 63 off 34 and Jonty Sidhu's 42 off 28 guided Central Delhi Kings to a total of 175/5 in 20 overs, but breezy knocks from Kandpal and Dabas helped North Delhi Strikers chase down the target in 18.1 overs. Despite losing Sarthak Ranjan (10 off 7) early in the second over, North Delhi Strikers took an aggressive approach to chase down the target of 176. Vaibhav Kandpal and Yash Dabas complemented each other as they took the team's total to the 100-run mark by the 10th over.

However, Dabas, who played a remarkable 56-run knock off 33 balls, was dismissed by Rajneesh Dadar in the following over. Kandpal continued in the same vein, bringing up his fifty in 30 balls in the 14th over, but was caught near the square leg region by Sumit Kumar off Money Grewal’s over after scoring a brilliant 60 off 35 balls. Despite his dismissal, North Delhi Strikers remained in a commanding position at 147/3 in 14.3 overs.
