New Delhi [India], Jan 27: Delhi pick up their maiden Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 trophy after beating Rajasthan by 41 runs at the Eden Gardens on Friday. Electing to bat, Delhi rode on Unmukt Chand's 53 to post a modest 153 in 20 overs with Rajasthan missing the services of Deepak Chahar who was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. In reply, Rajasthan flopped with the bat, managing just 112 all out in 19.1 overs. Rajasthan's chase was led by Aditya Garhwal 52 runs of 36 ball but calm batting from his partners let him and the team down. Garhwal kept Rajasthan in the match scoring steadily as partners Ankit Lamba (1) and Salman Khan (10) went cheaply.

With the asking rate reaching nine runs per over, Garhwal tried to free his arms to a ball from Lalit Yadav (1/10) that stopped and rose on him. He pulled straight to Nitish Rana at long on to depart for 52. In-form Mahipal Lomror (17) tried to stem the rot after Garhwal departed, in the company of Tejinder Singh (7). But the pair departed in successive overs to plunge Rajasthan into further misery. Chetan Bist (0) was out hit wicket trying to fend off a Kulwant Khejrolia bouncer, who a ball earlier had claimed Lomror with another superb delivery.

Brief scores: Delhi 153/6 in 20 overs (Unmukt Chand 53, Khaleel Ahmed 2/23, Rahul Chahar 2/31 beat Rajasthan 112 in 19.1 overs (Aditya Garhwal 52, Kulwant Khejroliya 2/24, Pradeep Sangwan 2/14, Pawan Negi 2/21)
