Chasing 200 runs to win the match, Delhi lost wickets at regular intervals to the extent of almost losing the match from one point.

Pawan Negi, who came in to bat at No. 9, rescued his team via a highly responsible innings, something without which Delhi would have never won the match. Negi ended up top-scoring for his team, scoring 39* (49) with the help of five fours and a six.

Delhi’s Navdeep Saini was adjourned the ‘Man of the Match’ for registering his career-best List A figures of 10-2-30-4 in the first innings.

There were reports of Dhoni representing Jharkhand in the Quarter finals of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Even MSK Prasad, Chairman of Selectors, had announced about Dhoni taking part in the tournament. All such news were quashed when Dhoni did not turn up for the Quarter final match.

Whether Dhoni’s non-participation was because of him not wanting to disturb the winning momentum of the team or any other reason, his presence in the nail-biter today would have surely aided his team.
