Chasing a target of 210, the DC found themselves in a precarious position at 113 for 6, needing nearly 100 runs off the last 45 balls.

However, a surprise performance from Ashutosh Sharma, who scored 66 off 31, and 39 from debutant Vipraj Nigam propelled the team to victory with three balls to spare.
