Dominant Delhi Warriors Crush Pune Panthers by 59 Runs in World Legends Pro T20 League Thriller

In a commanding performance in the 5th match of the World Legends Pro T20 League 2026, the Delhi Warriors delivered a statement win over the Pune Panthers, claiming a 59‑run victory at the 1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium in Goa on Wednesday, January 28.

Batting first after losing the toss, Delhi Warriors posted a formidable 218 for 3 in their 20 overs, riding on a whirlwind 62 off 32 balls from Chadwick Walton and a confident 51 off 33 from Shreevats Goswami. The duo’s explosive strokeplay gave the Warriors momentum from the powerplay through the middle overs. Gurkeerat Singh Mann chipped in with a brisk 44 not out off 26, while Irfan Pathan finished strongly with 49 not out off 26 to ensure Warriors finished with a massive total.

In reply, the Pune Panthers’ chase never really gained traction. Early blows dented their top order and despite some resistance, the Panthers were bowled out for 159 in 19.4 overs. Bowling heroics from Shahbaz Nadeem, who picked up crucial scalps, helped tilt the contest in Delhi’s favour.

The comprehensive nature of the Warriors’ win underlined their balanced match‑winning capabilities with both bat and ball, giving them a strong early foothold in the tournament standings.

With this victory, Delhi Warriors not only entertain the fans with powerful cricket but also make a strong case for their ambitions in this season’s Legends league.
