Badoni, bowlers take Delhi to win against HP in Syed Mushtaq Ali T20s

Delhi continued their winning streak, beating Himachal Pradesh (HP) by five wickets in a Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 game to be the only team to have 100% record in Group C as they moved to 20 points and with it occupied the pole position in the pool.

SL Verma (36 off 17) took the hilly people to 145/8 in 20 overs and provided something for the bowlers to defend.

Delhi lost the wicket of Priyansh Arya early, on just the second ball, but then rode on a 102-run partnership between Yash Dhull (47 off 31) and skipper Ayush Badoni (70 off 39) to take the team towards the HP total.

The Ayush Badoni-led side then lost a few wickets quickly and were 137/5 in 14.3 overs. However, Mayank Rawat hit two sixes off two balls to take the team home.
