Ayush Badoni (South Delhi Superstarz captain and Player of the Match): "(On the change of form of his team) Everyone in the team believed in themselves that we will come back in the game. Even after the powerplay earlier today, we came back and did well.
(On his thoughts before walking in to bat) No thoughts as such, there was more than 200 to chase. Had to play positive cricket, and target the balls in my range.
(On what went through his mind after the first six overs of the first innings) It felt like they'd get past 300, but we were aiming to keep them under 220 and eventually kept them under 200. We bowled well after the first six overs.
(On whom he'd like to take on the sponsored trip) I'll give it to my fans instead."

5:59 PM IST, Local Time: That brings us to the end of our coverage of the first of two Delhi Premier League games today. The North Delhi Strikers, despite such an entertaining batting line-up, lost their way completely halfway into their campaign and are out of playoff contention. The South Delhi Superstarz draw level on points with Purani Dilli-6 and Outer Delhi Warriors, and will be itching to climb to second or higher and seal a spot in Qualifier 1. The second game of the day between the New Delhi Tigers and the West Delhi Lions begins in a few minutes. Join us right here on Crickxo for our coverage of that, and keep following us for a lot more!
That's all for now. This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator, Soumarya Dutta, and scorer/analyst, Sachin Yadav. See you soon!
