After Sarthak Rai's early loss (0 for 1) in the first over, Aayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya nearly chased South Delhi Superstars by 177 runs with some calm and strategic batting. By the end of the powerplay, they improved the score to 45/1 and went on to score 10+ runs in each over. Arya scored 50 runs in 32 balls, while Badoni contributed 42 crucial runs off 36 balls (four boundaries and a six) before being caught at mid-wicket, missing out on his half-century.
At the time of the strategic timeout, South Delhi Superstars were firmly in control, thanks to the no-hitters of Arya and Tejaswi Dahiya. Arya, who scored 82 runs off 51 balls with seven sixes and three fours, was dismissed in the 17th over. Tejaswi followed suit in the next over, contributing 22 runs off 14 balls with four fours and a six.

Vijen Panchal and Dhruv Singh then sealed the victory with a six and a four in the 19th over, sealing South Delhi Superstars' second consecutive win in the tournament.
In the opening over, Hiten Dalal (10 for 9) was easily bowled by Divij Mehra in the third over. However, skipper Yash Dhoul led from the front, keeping the scoreboard ticking with Dhruv Kaushik as they formed a solid partnership of 91 runs off 65 balls, crossing the 100-run mark in the 13th over. Kaushik was then dismissed in the next over after scoring 56 runs (33 balls), with five fours and three sixes.
The South Delhi superstar rode that momentum, taking five wickets in five consecutive overs. Dul (52 for 44, with three fours and three sixes), Keshav Dabas (3 for 7), Jonty Sidhu (14 for 10), Lakshay Thareja (3 for 4) and Harish Dagar fell in quick succession, but Central Delhi Kings managed to drain 29 runs in the last two overs.
