South Delhi Superstarz defeated Central Delhi Queens by 10 runs during the Women’s Delhi Premier League match at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground on Thursday.

Chasing 145, the Queens were restricted to 134/4. Openers Deeksha Sharma and Nishika Singh gave their side a solid start with a 69-run stand for the first wicket. Nishika fell for 23 (35 balls) and Deeksha followed soon after with 41 (44) in the 13th over.

A couple of quick dismissals stalled the chase, and although Monika and Parunika Sisodia tried to steady the innings, the required run rate kept climbing. Monika scored 24 off 18 while Sisodia remained not out on 25 off 18.

For the Superstarz, Disha Nagar was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 2/28 in four overs.

Earlier, batting first, the Superstarz had lost two early wickets but were rescued by a brilliant 71-run partnership between Tanisha Singh and Shweta Sehrawat. Sehrawat scored a fluent 45 (32), while Tanisha played a match-winning knock, remaining unbeaten on 76 off 50 balls to take her side to 144/3 in 20 overs.

Among the Queens’ bowlers, Parunika Sisodia, Mallika Khatri, and Nidhi Mahto picked up a wicket each. With this win, South Delhi Superstarz sealed their spot in the finals, joining Central Delhi Queens, who had already secured qualification.
