South Delhi Superstarz clinch Women's DPL title after beating Central Delhi Queens

In a thrilling final that went down to the wire, that is the last ball, last year’s losing finalists South Delhi Superstarz defeated Central Delhi Queens by one run to win the Women’s Delhi Premier League 2025, on Sunday night.

Chasing 122 for victory, the Queens were under pressure right from the start. They lost early wickets and were soon pegged back further when rain interrupted play. Once the game resumed, their chase never gathered full momentum. Reduced to 74/5, the contest seemed slipping away before Monika (33 off 28) and Riya Shokeen (28 not out off 28 balls) revived hopes with a fighting 33-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

The pair looked threatening, but Monika’s dismissal came at the wrong time, leaving Riya stranded with the lower order. The Queens battled hard but eventually closed their innings at 120/8 in 20 overs, agonisingly short by just one run.

Medhavi Bidhuri starred with the ball for the Superstarz as she picked up three wickets for 26 runs in 3 overs while Himakshi Choudhary scalped two for 18 runs in four overs.

Opting to bat, the Superstarz too found it tough against disciplined Queens’ bowling. Openers Tanishqa Singh (14 off 13) and Shivi Sharma (29 off 36) got the team off to a steady start. The innings gained momentum when Tanisha Singh (28 off 23) joined Shivi in a valuable 50-run stand. But once the set batters were dismissed, the middle order collapsed under pressure.

The Queens’ spinners took control with Priya Mishra (2/19), Nidhi Mahto (2/24) and Saachi (2/7) delivering economical spells. Despite that, skipper Shweta Sehrawat (34 off 24) fought till the end, ensuring her side had a competitive total of 121/8 on the board.
