In an exciting finale clash of the DPL T20, East Delhi Riders pace Simarjeet Singh produced a moment of brilliance with the ball, delivering an outstanding length ball that led to the crucial dismissal of South Delhi Superstarz's skipper Ayush Badoni. 

The DPL T20 inaugural season's finale between East Delhi Riders and South Delhi Superstarz kicked off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium earlier today. 

Batting first, East Delhi was rescued by Mayank Rawat's blistering knock of 78 for 39 balls. Powered by Mayank's late fire, the Riders posted 183 runs total on the board.

The chase was definitely dicey, and South Delhi Superstarz was jolted early by Priyansh Arya's powerplay wicket. Before South Delhi could rebuild, Simarjeet Singh struck to grab a massive wicket.

Ayush Badoni, a key player and the anchor of the South Delhi Superstarz batting lineup, was undone by a ripper delivery. Simarjeet pitched a good length delivery, right on the middle stump line, and exhibited subtle movement away from the batter, making it extremely challenging to play.

While Badoni was looking to defend the delivery, Simarjeet's skillful swing deceived him, as the ball deviated away just enough after pitching, catching the outside edge of Badoni's bat. The ball flew swiftly towards the wicketkeeper, who made no mistake in pouching the catch.

This dismissal was a huge setback for the South Delhi Superstarz as they lost both openers in quick succession that too in the powerplay. His wicket induced a major collapse as South Delhi were reduced to 81-6.

Expectations from Ayush Badoni were sky high as he has been in sublime form this entire tournament. South Delhi Superstarz scored a total of 308 runs batting first against North Delhi in league stages and Badoni hammered a total of 165 runs off just 55 deliveries alone.

He surpassed the record of Chris Gayle to hit most sixes in an inning i.e 19 sixes. Badoni and his opening partner Priyansh Arya stitched a 286 runs partnership as well.
