Atharva Thaide and Liam Livingston, who came to the crease at third, batted well but to no avail. Later, it was seen that the decision to withdraw Thaiday, who scored 55 runs in 42 balls, was wrong. Big hitters Jitesh Sharma (0), Shahrukh Khan (6) and Sam Curran (11) made quick returns.
Livingston fought till the end with 94 off 49 balls with 5 fours and 9 sixes. Ishant Sharma and Ann Rich Norche took 2 wickets each for Delhi. Khalil Ahmed and Axar Patel took one wicket each.
