The 20th match of Delhi Premier League 2024 being played at Arun Jaitley Stadium is being played between East Delhi Riders and Old Delhi 6 teams.

The special thing was that both the openers stood at the crease for the entire 20 overs and returned to the pavilion unbeaten, which is very rare in T20 cricket. During this, both the openers of East Delhi Riders also crossed the century mark.

The team of Old Delhi 6 won the toss and decided to bowl first. But this decision of Old Delhi 6 was proved wrong by East Delhi Riders openers Anuj Rawat and Simarjit Singh. Both these players played very well and scored unbeaten centuries. Due to this East Delhi Riders team, batting first in this match, managed to score 241 runs in 20 overs without losing any wickets.
