Purani Dilli 6 Triumphs Over West Delhi Lions in Adani Delhi Premier League T20

Purani Dilli 6 clinched a seven-wicket victory against the West Delhi Lions in their third match of the Adani Delhi Premier League T20. Arpit Rana's unbeaten 56 and pivotal bowling performances from Laxman and Aayush Singh Thakur led to their successful chase of a 142-run target at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Purani Dilli 6 staged an impressive comeback by securing a seven-wicket victory over the West Delhi Lions in the Adani Delhi Premier League T20 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Key contributions from Laxman, who took 3/41, and Aayush Singh Thakur, who grabbed 2/27, restricted the West Delhi Lions to 141/9 in 20 overs. Arpit Rana's unbeaten 56 off 43 balls, along with Vansh Bedi's 30 off 18, ensured Purani Dilli 6 chased down the target in 17.1 overs.

Purani Dilli 6 approached their 142-run chase aggressively, with Rana setting the tone early. Despite losing Manjeet in the fourth over, the side maintained a strong position by the end of the powerplay. Quick dismissals of Sanat Sangwan and Lalit Yadav brought some tension, but Rana's steadiness guided them through, leaving only 16 runs needed from 24 balls in the 16th over.

Purani Dilli 6's decision to bowl first proved advantageous as they quickly put the West Delhi Lions on the back foot. Lalit Yadav dismissed Ankit Kumar for a duck in the first over, and further dismissals by Aayush Singh Thakur and others kept the Lions struggling at 7/3. Although late partnerships propelled the score to 141/9, it wasn't enough to prevent Purani Dilli 6 from claiming a decisive victory.
