Chandigarh, Oct 26:

Haryana won the toss and elected to field and their decision boomeranged as Delhi openers Bharat Gupta and A P Gumail put on 93 runs for the first wicket in 21 overs before Gumail (31 off 50 balls) was caught and bowled by AR Rana.
Delhi continued to dominate the Haryana bowling and their innings ended at 257 for 6 in 50 overs.
Rana (2-54) was the most successful bowler for Haryana.
Chasing the total, Haryana were bundled out for 75 in just 18.5 overs.
After an opening stand of 23 in 3.5 overs, Haryana batsman were all at sea against the pace attack of Sarang Rawat and Satinder Thakkar as they folded for 75 in 18.5 overs.
Satinder Thakkar (5-41), Sarang Rawat (3-26) and Vision Panchal (2-1) shared the spoils for Delhi.
Today’s loss of Punjab has opened the second slot.
