Domestic Cricket Roundup: Purani Dilli 6 and Barpeta Braves Secure Thrilling Wins

Purani Dilli 6 secured a dramatic four-wicket victory over North Delhi Strikers in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026. Chasing a challenging target, the match went down to the final over before Purani Dilli 6 held their nerves to seal the win. This victory marks a significant momentum shift in the tournament as teams battle for top positions in the league standings, showcasing the high-pressure environment of India's growing regional T20 circuits.

In the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026, captain Denish Das produced a stellar performance to guide Barpeta Braves to a four-wicket win over Guwahati Royals. Das struck 52 off 41 balls, including five boundaries, to anchor a successful chase of 137 runs at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium. The Barpeta Braves reached the target with just two balls to spare in the final over, thanks to a late cameo from Arun Sonar, who finished the game with a six.

The win has propelled Barpeta Braves to third place in the APL standings with eight points from seven matches. Conversely, Guwahati Royals have slipped to second place, trailing table-toppers Dibrugarh Warriors on net run rate. These regional leagues continue to serve as critical platforms for local talent to gain exposure, with the DPL and APL drawing significant interest from domestic scouts looking for the next generation of IPL stars.
