Tejasvi Dahiya’s Explosive 70 Steals Show in South Delhi Superstarz’s Thrilling DPL Win

Tejasvi Dahiya delivered a match-defining performance, scoring an unbeaten 70 off 30 balls to guide South Delhi Superstarz to a thrilling three-wicket victory against Outer Delhi Warriors in a rain-affected Delhi Premier League (DPL) Season 2 match on Friday night, reduced to 16 overs due to a wet outfield. The Superstarz chased a daunting 140-run target, overcoming early setbacks to secure the win with a dramatic finish.

The match, held at a rain-soaked venue, saw the Superstarz struggle initially, losing three top-order batters, including captain Ayush Badoni, within five overs. By the 10th over, the dismissal of Anmol Sharma (23) left them needing over 70 runs in the final six overs. Dahiya, batting at No. 5, turned the game with a blistering counter-attack, smashing 4 boundaries and 6 sixes. Needing seven runs off the last two balls, he launched a six on the penultimate delivery and sealed the victory with another towering six. Sumit Kumar Beniwal’s quick 19 off 7 balls provided crucial support.

The Outer Delhi Warriors, batting first, posted 139/8 in 16 overs despite early pressure from the Superstarz’s disciplined bowling. Dhruv Singh led with 42 off 31 balls, including 4 fours and 2 sixes, while Sanat Sangwan scored a brisk 26 off 14. Shivam Sharma added 21 off 14, but the batting lineup struggled to build on starts. Sumit Kumar Beniwal was the pick of the Superstarz bowlers, claiming 3/28, while Anshuman Hooda and Suyash Sharma took two wickets each for the Warriors, with Harsh Tyagi conceding just 15 runs in three overs.
