He claimed three key wickets—Samarth Seth (18), captain Vansh Bedi (1), and Pranav Pant (6)— while Aarush Malhotra (5) was also dismissed inside the first six overs, leaving Purani Dilli in deep trouble at 31/4.

The collapse continued as an unfortunate run-out saw Dev Lakra (5) depart in the eighth over.

The right-arm quick wasn’t done yet—he returned to trap Aayush Singh (4) in front of, reducing Purani Dilli 6 to a dismal 50/8.

Suyash Sharma picked up his fourth by dismissing Rajneesh Dadar (5), and Harsh Tyagi wrapped things up by removing the only batter who showed some resistance, Lalit Yadav (20). Purani Dilli 6 were bundled out for just 66 in 14.3 overs, handing Outer Delhi a resounding 82-run victory.
