In response, North Delhi were never in the chase, scoring only 78 for the loss of four wickets in their first 10 overs. The skipper Pranshu Vijayran scored 62 off 32 balls batting at number seven to reduce the deficit. Yajas Sharma (32 off 18) and the impact player Vaibhav Rawal (32 from 14) also made handy contributions as North Delhi extended their total to 196, although still losing by 112 runs. 

Vijayran (2/39 in his four overs) also provided respite with the ball, being the only bowler to concede at less than 10 runs per over.

South Delhi’s Raghav Singh chipped in with 3/34, sealing the win with three of the top four wickets. 

South Delhi sit at the top of the points table, with six wins in eight matches and also maintaining a healthy net run rate of +2.496. North Delhi, on the contrary, have managed only three wins in eight games. They are placed fifth on the points table with two league games remaining. They play South Delhi again on Sunday (September 1).
