After being asked to bat first, the New Delhi Tigers set an imposing target of 222/7 in 20 overs, and they successfully defended it by limiting the Outer Delhi Warriors to 182/4, securing a victory by 40 runs.
Despite an early loss of opener Dhruv Kaushik for just 5 runs off 6 balls, Shivam Gupta and captain Himmat Singh rose to the occasion, forming a spectacular partnership of 164 runs for the second wicket.
Shivam Gupta shone brightly, scoring 89 runs off 53 balls, including 8 fours and 4 sixes, while Himmat Singh provided solid support with 69 runs off 39 balls.
