The South Delhi Superstarz Women achieved a milestone victory in the Women's Delhi Premier League T20 by edging out the North Delhi Strikers Women with a 12-run lead at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Set a target of 148, the North Delhi Strikers Women's pursuit faced early setbacks when openers Upasana Yadav and Mansi Sharma were dismissed, placing them at 25/2 in 5.3 overs. Persistent efforts from Ayushi Soni and Sonia Khatri ensued, but Khatri's run out left them trailing.

Despite Nazma Sultana's swift 31 from 14 balls, the Strikers lagged at 53/3. Sultana's exit and the collapse under the pressure of late overs left Soni and team requiring 18 off the final over, falling short at 135/7. Sturdy contributions from Chhavi Gupta, Tanisha Singh, and late innings firepower from Priyadarshini and Bhadana provided Superstarz with a solid 147/5.
