Yajas Sharma’s 64 powers Warriors’ chase‑free innings in DPL 2026

In a rain‑affected DPL 2026 fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Outer Delhi Warriors set a commanding target of 132 runs in ten overs after winning the toss and opting to bat. The innings was anchored by Yajas Sharma, who smashed 64 runs off 29 balls, including five sixes and an equal number of fours.

His partnership with Akshay Saini, who added 20 runs in just ten deliveries, pushed the score past the 80‑run mark without losing a wicket. After Saini’s dismissal, Sharma continued his onslaught, while lower‑order batsman Monu Shukla contributed a quick 21 runs from 13 balls. Priyansh Arya’s early cameo of ten runs from eight balls rounded off the top order.

South Delhi Superstars, chasing 133, were bowled out for 93 in 9.4 overs. The damage began with opening bowler Anmol Sharma’s dismissal for a duck. A brief partnership between Tejasvi Dahiya and Ekansh Dobhal added 52 runs, but Dahiya fell after 18 runs and Dobhal’s 35‑run effort was cut short by a run‑out.

Navdeep Saini’s decisive two‑over spell yielded three wickets for just nine runs, while Aman Bhatia and Pranshu Vijayan each claimed a wicket. The Warriors’ win propelled them to the second spot on the points table.
