DPL 2026: Doseja, Gusain Shine As West Delhi Lions Beat New Delhi Tigers By 19 Runs
West Delhi Lions: Stand-in skipper Ayush Doseja's classy 84 was well complemented by Mayank Gusain's all-round display as defending champions West Delhi Lions launched their campaign with a 19-run victory over New Delhi Tigers in the 2026 Delhi Premier League (DPL).
Doseja led from the front with a 52-ball 84, studded with 10 boundaries and two maximums, while Gusain provided the late flourish with an unbeaten 35-ball 46 to push West Delhi to a competitive 170/5 after being sent in to bat.
In reply, the Tigers were restricted after a top-order collapse saw them reduced to 28 for 4 inside the Powerplay. Despite a late surge from Manish Sehrawat (51 off 26 balls), the Tigers fell short as Kulwant Khejroliya (3-25) and Manan Bhardwaj (3-20) triggered key breakthroughs to seal the game.
