In the match, Outer Delhi Warriors batted second while chasing a target of 194 in 20 overs. Priyansh Arya opened the innings alongside Sanat Sangwan, but they lost an early wicket as Sanat was dismissed for a duck. Rishabh Drall then came in at No. 3 and, along with Priyansh, built a quickfire partnership of 67. After that, Priyansh and Keshav Dabas added 62 runs in just 5.1 overs before Priyansh was dismissed, but by then he had put his team in control at 136-3 in 11.3 overs. Priyansh scored 76 off just 30 balls, including four boundaries, seven sixes, and a strike rate of 253.33.

Priyansh Arya is one of the players Punjab Kings might retain ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. In IPL 2025, his debut season, he scored 475 runs in 17 matches at a strong strike rate of 179.24. He hit one century and two half centuries in the season. His best knock came against Chennai Super Kings when he smashed 103 off 42 balls, reaching his century in just 39 deliveries, the second fastest by an Indian in IPL history at that time. Later, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a hundred in 35 balls, which pushed Priyansh to third place on the list.
Priyansh played a big role in helping Punjab Kings reach the final. Even though the team lost, they discovered a young batting talent already making his mark in the tournament. In the DPL 2025, he scored 267 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 171.15, with one century and one half century. Priyansh will now look to continue his good form.
