The Delhi Premier League: New Delhi Tigers produced a scintillating all-round performance to register a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over North Delhi Strikers in their Delhi Premier League (DPL) clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Monday.

Batting first, the Strikers struggled right from the start as they lost wickets in quick succession, slipping to 54/6 inside 12 overs. But Vaibhav Kandpal and Arjun Rapria came to the rescue with a fighting 58-run partnership for the seventh wicket.

Rapria’s innings of 29 (24) kept the scoreboard ticking, while Kandpal played a spirited knock of 45 (32), but their efforts only managed to take the side to 124/9 in 20 overs.
