The Delhi Premier League (DPL) witnessed another thrilling match as Sumit Kumar Beniwal produced an outrageous spell of fast bowling, guiding South Delhi Superstarz to a comprehensive 46-run victory against Purani Dilli 6 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Sumit Beniwal Shines With Five-For
Defending a competitive total of 184, South Delhi’s pacers, led by Beniwal, came out firing. The right-arm quick tore through the top order during the powerplay, removing key batters in quick succession and leaving Purani Dilli 6 reeling at 28 for 6 within the first eight overs. His pace and precision proved too much to handle, and the wickets kept tumbling.

Beniwal ended with impressive returns of 5 for 19 off his four overs, and Abhishek Khandelwal (4/31) added to the misery of Purani Dilli 6’s pursuit. Ekansh Dobal was the lone warrior, fighting his way to a gritty half-century. Dobal combined to form a 46-run partnership with Lalit Yadav (22 off 28), giving renewed hopes for a while before Beniwal came back to get Yadav and end the stand. Finally, Purani Dilli 6 collapsed at a mere score of 138.
