Rana, Dhull's fifties help Delhi overcome Uttarakhand

Nitish Rana scored a 29-ball 51 as Delhi ended their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025 campaign with a win over Uttarakhand. Rana's blitz, along with a steady half-century from Yash Dhull, took Delhi to 162. Uttarakhand never threatened to overhaul the total after losing three wickets inside the PowerPlay. Digvesh Rathi (2 for 22), Suyash Sharma (2 for 27) and Prince Yadav (2 for 32) claimed two wickets each, while Navdeep Saini delivered an economical spell, conceding just 21 runs from his four overs.
