New Delhi. As the Delhi Premier League is progressing, the excitement is also increasing. Take the example of the match between East Delhi Riders and Central Delhi Kings. When this match started, East Delhi, which was unbeaten in 5 matches, was a contender for victory. A win would have almost confirmed its ticket to the semi-finals. But Central Delhi has dashed its hopes for the time being.
East Delhi batted first in DPL 2024 on Tuesday. With the help of strong innings of captain Himmat Singh (63) and opener Anuj Rawat (61), they scored 172 runs for 5 wickets. The score of 172 in the DPL being played at Arun Jaitley Stadium was neither big nor less. A tough match was expected. And that is what happened.
While chasing the target of 173 runs, Central Delhi Kings had a bad start. They lost their fourth wicket at a score of 74 in the 10th over. Half the overs were over and the top-4 batsmen were also out. East Delhi had a strong grip on the match. But Keshav Dabas and Aryan Rana changed all these equations.
Keshav Dabas changed the course of the match by playing an unbeaten innings of 52 runs in 27 balls. He along with Aryan Rana (28) and Sumit Kumar (13) led his team to victory. The interesting thing was that Delhi Central, which had scored 74 runs in the first 9.5 overs, scored the next 99 runs in just 8 overs. That too by losing only one wicket.
