4:45pm Thanks for joining us for the coverage of this game. We'll catch you again at Indore - for the Ranji Trophy final. See you.
4:34pm Delhi's young boys are holding up devil horns with their arms outstretched. Very apt. A young team, with a young captain - in the absence of Ishant Sharma - have completely flattened Bengal. Hugs in the dugout, Bhaskar Pillai and Manoj Prabhakar are overjoyed. Gautam Gambhir is there too, relaxed and all smiles. Bengal have fallen to their lowest score against Delhi. The presentation is underway, with the match referee thanking both teams as they stand in a big semi-circle. Delhi won the Ranji Trophy when they last made the final. Quite a turnaround for a team that was marred in controversy last year. A win by an innings and 26 runs.
Bengal were ordinary today. Arguably, they were ordinary when they decided to stretch a lead to 800 in their last game instead of going for a win. It was similar today - they were too afraid to go for the kill, allowing Delhi to come back into the game despite being six down and only about 30 in front. Their most prolific batsmen - the openers - failed in both innings, their bowling was stretched and the overall game management just didn't work out. A good season for them ends in a tame manner.
