South Delhi Superstarz clinched a 10-run win over Central Delhi Queens in the Women's Delhi Premier League (DPL) fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and secured a spot in the final on Thursday.

Queens had a solid start but lost momentum in the middle overs. Needed better partnership building after the openers got out. Still, great effort from both teams!
