Scorecard

Vidarbha got off to a slippery start in their away game against Delhi at the Feroz Shah Kotla, losing their openers inside seven overs with just 16 runs on the board.

Captain S Badrinath and Faiz Fazal pulled Vidarbha out with a 88-run third-wicket partnership, taking them past 100. Left-arm seamer Pradeep Sangwan trapped Badrinath lbw six short of a fifty in the 46th over.

Ishant Sharma picked up his second wicket when he got Fazal to edge one to wicketkeeper Mohit Ahlawat in the 55th over but not before the left-hander made 56. Delhi kept picking wickets in regular intervals before Jitesh Sharma and Aditya Shanware's 69-run stand offered some resistance.

Shanware fell in the penultimate over of the day when an Ishant delivery caught the edge of his bat and was held by Ahlawat. Jitesh Sharma stayed unbeaten on 37 in the company of Shrikant Wagh, who is yet to get off the mark.
