Delhi draw first blood inside the third over. Anish departs for a 10-ball duck as he is caught by Rana, and veteran Ishant Sharma gets the first wicket of the day. Yuvraj Singh is the new batter for Delhi, with Pratham Singh at the other end.

We are inside the seventh over, and Railways have lost their second wicket. Harshit Rana gets the scalp of Pratham Singh, who holes it out to Ranjan and departs for 11 off 16. Upendra Yadav comes on as the new batter, while Yuvraj is struggling to get going at the other end.

The wickets keep on tumbling for Railways as they lose their third of the day. Upendra Yadav is caught behind by Pant off Tyagi's bowling, and he departs for 15 runs off 18 balls. Marathe, the new batter, gets off the mark immediately. Yuvraj, at the other end, is at 7 off 19 balls.

Railways finally crawl past the 50-run mark as we enter the 15th over. Yuvraj's frustrating innings comes to an end at seven runs off 24 balls as he he is caught behind off Saini's delivery. Ashutosh Sharma, the new batter, has come out swinging, hitting two fours as Marathe is taking his time at the other end.

After the cheap dismissal of Ashutosh, Marathe and Zubair Khan had built up a 45-run partnership, but the latter was dismissed by Badoni, holing it to Priyansh Arya, at 99/6. Captain Karn Sharma, the new batter, is yet to get off the mark, but Marathe steals a single to take Railways to 100.

A vital partnership has developed between Marathe (47) and Karn (21), which stands at 50 now. Marathe is working his way towards a solid half-century, while Railways, from 54/5, are now approaching the 150-run target. But will this be enough against a strong Delhi side?

Railways are bowled out for a meagre 179 as their lower order collapses completely, with the final three wickets yielding just 17 runs in total. Marathe's half-century and Karn's late cameo aside, none of the batters have stepped up today, and it will be a tough task for the bowlers to defend this total.

What a fantastic start given to Delhi's chase by Priyansh Arya, with the opener reaching a rapid half-century in just 25 balls. This includes 11 boundaries and a six. Delhi are batting at a run rate of just about 10-an-over, with the chase looking like a formality even before the end of the powerplay. Railways need a breakthrough, and need it quickly.

Priyansh Arya's fiery knock came to an end at 80 off just 41 balls, which included 12 boundaries and three sixes. However, Zubair got the breakthrough for Railways, with Yuvraj Singh taking the catch. Nitish Rana is the new batter, while Sarthak at the other end is now taking charge, batting at 33 off 44.

Delhi have won by six wickets! Rishabh Panat's boundary peppered innings – 24 off just nine balls, featuring three sixes and a four – set up the stage for an easy win. Despite his dismissal, Nitish Rana (38 off 28) and Ayush Badoi ensure that Delhi get over the line in just 21.4 overs.
