Dinesh Karthik made a quickfire half-century while opening, striking two fours and three sixes, but it was M Vijay who almost took them home. With six needed off three balls, Yo Mahesh was trapped in front by Sachin Rana. Vijay, who blasted 42 off 19 balls, was run out the next ball as hisattempt to gain strike failed, and the No.10 batsman Baba Aparajith could only manage a single off the final delivery, with six needed to win.

A defiant hundred from Delhi captain Mithun Manas was not enough to prevent his side going down by an innings and 35 runs to Gujarat on the final day at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium in Valsad. Delhi began the day with five wickets in hand and needing another 117 to make Gujarat bat again, but while Manas gamely resisted, there was a lack of support from the other end. Manoj Chauhan, the No.9 batsman, did hang around for 48 minutes but made just 1, from 35 balls. When Manas was stumped on 103 off the bowling of Jesal Karia, the ending was in sight, and the last wicket fell less than six overs later. Karia was the pick of the bowlers, with 3 for 27 from 7.3 overs.
