Delhi Premier League Season: Arpit Rana shone with bat while Anuj Rawat displayed his brilliant captaincy skills to lead East Delhi Riders a narrow two-run victory against West Delhi Lions in a last-ball thriller of the Delhi Premier League Season 2 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here.
Chasing 159, West Delhi Lions came agonisingly close but fell short by just two runs, finishing at 156/7 in their 20 overs. The Lions’ innings was anchored by Krish Yadav’s resilient 44 from 39 balls and a blistering cameo from Ankit Kumar, who smashed 42 runs from just 16 deliveries with two fours and five sixes. However, disciplined bowling from East Delhi Riders, particularly Mayank Rawat who took 2/18 from his four overs, and Rounak Waghela with 2/23, proved decisive in the closing stages of the match.
Notably, with this win, East Delhi Riders have climbed to top of the points table. They currently have nine points from six games.
