Purani Dilli-6 vs South Delhi Superstarz Highlights: Pant bowls last over but SDS cruise to 3-wicket win

Rishabh Pant rolled his arm over when one was needed off the final over and South Delhi have cruised to a win.

South Delhi have lost a couple of more wickets but they would still fancy their chances to win the match with required run rate in control.

SDS - 183/7 in 17.4 overs

Needed 14 off 14

Purani Dilli-6 are slowly crawling their way back into the game as Bhadana has dismissed Ayush Badoni and Tejaswi Dahiya has gotten run out and South Delhi Superstarz have lost half their side. The required rate is still in their control.

SDS - 168/5 in 15 overs

South Delhi Superstarz are cruising and the biggest reason is skipper Ayush Badoni's counter-attacking knock. Badoni, who smashed four sixes in as many balls, has raced off to a 25-ball 50.

SDS - 160/3 in 14 overs

Impact player hasn't made much impact as Dhruv Singh has been dismissed for just 1 as Prince gets his first wicket. Purani Dilli-6 still hanging around like bad smell.

Purani Dilli-6 breathe a sigh of relief as Priyansh Arya has been dismissed by Shivam Sharma for his second wicket. South Delhi 152/2 now.

South Delhi Superstarz are running away with the game. Ayush Badoni with four sixes off Ankit Bhadana in four balls has potentially killed the game. Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni have stitched a 50-run partnership off just 30 deliveries.

Shivam Sharma has finally struck for Purani Dilli-6 as the dangerous opening partnership between Priyansh Arya and Sarthak Day. Day smashed Lalit Yadav to pieces but now has to depart. A huge relief for Purani Dilli-6.

SDS - 88/1 in 7 overs.

Priyansh Arya and Sarthak Ray smashed 73 runs in the powerplay as South Delhi Superstarz have gotten off to a scintillating start in a 197-run chase.

Sarthak Ray has gone after Lalit Yadav and the off-spinner has conced 23 runs. Ray smashed a couple of fours and a six after Priyansh Arya started the over with a six. South Delhi Superstarz have gotten that big over they were after.

Vansh Bedi is keeping wickets for Purani Dilli-6 and not Rishabh Pant probably since the latter is set to leave after the opening clash and Bedi is here to stay, literally and figuratively.

South Delhi Superstarz have a task on their hands as Purani Dilli-6 have finished with 197. Lalit Yadav and Vansh Bedi's unbeaten 79-run stand has helped Purani Dilli-6 stretch their side nearly to 200, and SDS will have to bat out of their skins to chase this down.

PD6 - 197 in 20 overs {Arpit Rana - 59 (41), Vansh Bedi 47* (19)}

Vansh Bedi and Lalit Yadav have stitched a quickfire 50-run partnership off just 25 balls and Purani Dilli-6 are motoring here.

PD6 - 182/3 in 19 overs

Vansh Bedi started his innings with a six off a pull shot, immediately after Rishabh Pant got out. Bedi is taking on South Delhi bowlers and despite Purani Dilli losing a couple of wickets in quick succession, he has kept his side on course of a huge total.

Kunwar Bidhuri after a sensational catch at the start of the game, has taken the biggest wicket of the match, Rishabh Pant. Pant had just started to find some groove, having hit a six and a four in the last over but has now departed for a 32-ball 35.

PD6 - 129/3 after 15 overs

Purani Dilli-6 haven't lost the momentum even a bit as skipper Rishabh Pant has taken the steering after Arpit Rana's departure. Pant smashed a six and a four to end Shubham Dubey's over and Purani Dilli-6 are well on course of a 180-plus total.

PD6 - 117/2 in 14 overs

Captain Ayush Badoni has struck for South Delhi Superstarz as he dismisses the set batter Arpit Rana. Rana wanted to go after Badoni but mistimed a lofted shot and has departed for a well-made 59 after being caught at long-on. Purani Dilli need Pant to get going now.

PD6 - 103/2 in 13 overs

Rishabh Pant missed a couple of chances to hit the reverse sweep off Digvesh Rathi but he still was able to get two boundaries in the over, one straight down the ground and one towards deep square leg. PD6 will now hope that Pant can go berserk now.

After a slow start, Arpit Rana has come back well to scored his last 46 runs off just 26 balls and smash a brilliant half-century off just 37 balls. Rana is keeping Purani Dilli-6 on course of a big score but they need their captain Rishabh Pant to start hitting now.

PD6 - 84/1 in 11 overs

Ayush Badoni had plumbed Rishabh Pant in front but the Purani Dilli-6 skipper was quick to review it and got the decision in his favour as the ball was sliding down the leg stump and missing the wickets. Pant survives but hasn't been able to get his timing right thus far.

PD6 - 72/1 after 9 overs

Purani Dilli-6 have been able to recover after a little watchful start from the openers Arpit Rana and Manjeet. Rana, who was 4 off 11 at one point, has recovered well to be 34 off 24 as Purani Dilli-6 are 58/1 after the powerplay. Rishabh Pant's bat is yet to get talking.

Continuing from where he left off for the Indian team in T20Is, Rishabh Pant is batting at No 3 for Purani Dilli-6 as well and would hope to continue the monetum for his side.

Kunwar Bidhuri at short third man ran back a few yards and dived full length to take a blinder as Divij Mehra has struck for the South Delhi Superstarz as Manjeet has departed.

Rishabh Pant's batting will be highly-anticipated by one and all but he is slated to come into bat at No 4. For now, Arpit Rana and Manjeet are in the middle to open the batting for the Purani Dilli side.

Ayush Badoni (C), Kuldip Yadav, Priyansh Arya, Sumit Mathur, Divij Mehra, Kunwar Bidhuri, Digvesh Rathi, Tejasvi (WK), Sarthak Ray, Shubham Dubey, Vision Panchal

Playing XI: Arpit Rana, Manjeet, Rishabh Pant (C & WK), Lalit Yadav, Vansh Bedi, Keshav Dalal, Mayank Gusain, Shivam Sharma, Ankit Badhana, Ayush Singh, Prince Yadav

South Delhi Superstarz skipper Ayush Badoni won the toss and opted to field as he wanted to see how the pitch would play and with the weather around, he reckoned that bowling first was a better option.

The international stars of Delhi cricket, Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli (his brother Vikas attended), Ishant Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan (co-owner of South Delhi Superstarz) were felicitated by the DDCA at the inauguration of the tournament.

Sonam Bajwa, Badshah and Sid K enthralled the crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday evening. The crowd slowly built up at the Arun Jaitley Stadium before the the stars shone under the overcast sky in the capital.
