Sumit Kumar Beniwal Leads South Delhi to Victory in Premier League

New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) – In a remarkable display of bowling mastery, Sumit Kumar Beniwal spearheaded the South Delhi Superstarz to a commanding 46-run triumph over Purani Dilli 6 in the fiercely contested Delhi Premier League encounter. Chasing an imposing target of 185, Purani Dilli 6 could only muster 138 before being dismissed in 18.3 overs on Sunday.

Beniwal, with his fiery spell of 5/19 in four overs, ripped through the opposition’s lineup. Abhishek Khandelwal complemented his efforts with figures of 4/31, compounding the batting team’s woes. Beniwal delivered crucial blows early in the powerplay, reducing Purani Dilli 6 to a precarious 28/6 within just eight overs. The only semblance of resistance came from Ekansh Dobal, who established a 46-run partnership with Lalit Yadav (22 off 28) to lend some stability before Yadav was bowled by Beniwal.

Dobal continued his valiant effort to reach a commendable 63, but his solo endeavor fell short in altering the game's outcome.

Batting first, South Delhi Superstarz put up a competitive total of 184. Their innings was anchored by openers Anmol Sharma and Ankur Kaushik, who forged a solid 70-run opening stand. Though Kaushik fell for 21 off 17 deliveries, Sharma led the innings with a composed half-century. Despite the middle order's struggles under pressure, a vital late cameo from Vision Panchal lifted the team’s total beyond 180. Lalit Yadav (3/24) and Rajneesh Dadar (3/30) were the noteworthy bowlers for Purani Dilli 6.

Brief Scores:
South Delhi Superstarz: 184 all out (Anmol Sharma 50, Vision Panchal 27; Lalit Yadav 3/24, Rajneesh Dadar 3/30).
Purani Dilli 6: 138 all out in 18.3 overs (Ekansh Dobal 63, Lalit Yadav 22; Sumit Kumar Beniwal 5/19, Abhishek Khandelwal 4/31). South Delhi Superstarz won by 46 runs.
