Skipper Shweta Sehrawat’s blistering knock guided South Delhi Superstarz Women to a 15-run victory over East Delhi Riders Women in a rain-affected Women’s Delhi Premier League contest that was reduced to eight overs per side.
Asked to bat, the Superstarz posted 73/3 in 8 overs. The innings had a shaky start with Riya Soni (4) falling in the opening over and Tanisha Singh (6) departing in the fourth. But opener Chavvi Gupta (15 off 13 balls, 2x4s) steadied the innings before Shweta took charge. The captain smashed an unbeaten 31 off just 14 balls, laced with two sixes and two fours, while Shivi Sharma (14 off 7, 1x6, 1x4) provided the perfect finishing touch, helping their side set a challenging target.
In reply, East Delhi Riders began brightly through Vanshika Lila (17 off 14) and Priya Punia (15 off 10), who stitched a solid opening stand. However, once the pair was dismissed, the chase went off track as wickets tumbled at regular intervals. The Riders eventually managed only 58/7 in 8 overs, falling well short of the target.
For the Superstarz, Medhavi Bidhuri delivered a brilliant spell, picking up two wickets for just nine runs in her two overs, while for the Riders, Mayuri Singh, Purva Siwach, and Madhu Dhama claimed one wicket each.
In the end, it was Shweta’s explosive cameo that proved the decisive factor, ensuring South Delhi Superstarz walked away with a crucial win in the rain-hit clash.
