New Delhi: The East Delhi Riders secured a convincing 10-wicket victory over the Central Delhi Kings in a rain-affected 10-over match of the Delhi Premier League T20 at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. A brilliant collective bowling effort, led by Himanshu Chauhan’s 3/15 and Simarjeet Singh’s 2/8, restricted the Central Delhi Kings to 61 runs in 8.1 overs. In response, the East Delhi Riders comfortably chased down the target in just 4.1 overs with flawless batting display.

Openers Himmat Singh (31 not out) and Anuj Rawat (25 not out) provided a flying start to the East Delhi Riders as they amassed as many as 49 runs in the 3-over Powerplay and went on to secure a 10-wicket win with 35 balls to spare.

After a rain-delayed start, Central Delhi Kings faced early setbacks in their innings. Dipesh Balyan (2 off 3) was dismissed in the first over, followed by skipper Yash Dhull (13 off 5) in the third, leaving Central Delhi Kings at 28/2 by the end of the 3-over powerplay.

Himanshu Chauhan, who dismissed Dhull in his opening over, completed his spell with impressive figures of 3/15, taking the wickets of Hiten Dalal (16 off 14) and Lakshay Thareja (1 off 2) in the fifth over. Rounak Waghela struck twice in the next over as he removed Jonty Sidhu (15 off 9) and Sumit Kumar (5 off 3). Sidhu looked in good nick but failed to capitalise on his start.

The East Delhi Riders bowlers continued their dominance as they bowled out Central Delhi Kings for just 61 in 8.1 overs. Keshav Dabas (2 off 3) was run out early, followed by Simranjeet Singh’s double strike in his final over, removing Kaushal Suman (1 off 4) and Yogesh Sharma (0 off 2).
