Not unexpectedly, the Group A Ranji Trophy Super League match
between Delhi and Rajasthan ended in a tame draw at the
Ferozshah Kotla grounds in New Delhi on Tuesday. A draw was
the only possible result after the first day's play had been
washed out but Delhi managed to take first innings points as Rajasthan were bowled out for 311 in reply to the home team's
453 for nine declared. Delhi got five points and Rajasthan three.
Play on the final day started at 11.15 due to fog and bad light.
Rajasthan resumed at 134 for one and their hopes were sustained
by valuable knocks by Rahul Kanwat (52) and P.Krishnakumar (39).
In fact at 306 for five, the teams seemed set to share three
points each. But in form medium pacer Amit Bhandari came up
with a destructive spell in the last session and Rajasthan
lost their last five wickets for five runs in 6.1 overs.
Kanwat faced 106 balls and hit six fours while Krishnakumar
faced 112 balls and hit five of them to the ropes. Bhandari
finished with four wickets for 87 runs.
