Delhi gain first innings points

Not unexpectedly, the Group A Ranji Trophy Super League match between Delhi and Rajasthan ended in a tame draw at the Ferozshah Kotla grounds in New Delhi on Tuesday. A draw was the only possible result after the first day's play had been washed out but Delhi managed to take first innings points as Rajasthan were bowled out for 311 in reply to the home team's 453 for nine declared. Delhi got five points and Rajasthan three.

Play on the final day started at 11.15 due to fog and bad light. Rajasthan resumed at 134 for one and their hopes were sustained by valuable knocks by Rahul Kanwat (52) and P.Krishnakumar (39). In fact at 306 for five, the teams seemed set to share three points each. But in form medium pacer Amit Bhandari came up with a destructive spell in the last session and Rajasthan lost their last five wickets for five runs in 6.1 overs. Kanwat faced 106 balls and hit six fours while Krishnakumar faced 112 balls and hit five of them to the ropes. Bhandari finished with four wickets for 87 runs.
