And we are underway for this important quarter-final clash between Delhi and Vidarbha. Atharva Taider and Aman Mokhade are out in the middle to face the veteran seamer Ishant Sharma who bowled a tight first over, conceding only two runs.

Ishant Sharma made a huge appeal on the very first ball of his second over. The ball swung into Aman Mokhade whose feet was planted in front of the middle and leg, but the umpire was not convinced.

When Delhi took the DRS, the decision remained as per the on-field umpire as the ball moved above the bails.

Back-to-back boundaries from Atharva Taide. The left-hander is literally flowing at the moment and he also had a catch dropped at the point region. But he is showcasing excellent technique.

Ishant Sharma lands the first blow. Aman Mokhade was looking to extend his arms and play the cover-drive but Navdeep Saini kept it away from the batter's reach.

The ball takes an outside edge and lands safely on Tejasvi Yadav's hands.

Here's wishing a very Happy Lohri to all of our readers celebrating the festival today.

Two North Indian outfits - Punjab and Delhi, who are in action today, will be hoping for wins against Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha and give their fans another reason to celebrate other than Lohri festivities.

For Vidarbha to set up a strong total, it will be important for Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey to formulate a big partnership. However, they are in front of a red-hot Delhi pace battery being led by Navdeep Saini and Ishant Sharma.

The first powerplay is up and Vidarbha have scored 51 runs at a run-rate of 5.1, losing the wicket of Aman Mokhade who departed for just 6. It has been a great recovery since then by Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey.

Change of bowling from Delhi as left-arm off-spinner Harsh Tyagi has been brought into the attack. The North Indians need a wicket and that's why a spinner has come to bowl.

The flow of runs has been decent as 5 runs are coming easily in every over. Lefty Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey's partnership has reached to 45 runs off 60 balls.

The Delhi bowlers are looking absolutely clueless at the moment in front of Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey, who are ticking the board at the rate of 5 and are on course for a big total if this partnership, which has reached to 80 runs, continues to go on.

Ishant Sharma bowls a wide to start his 5th over of the 4th VHT 2025-26 quarter-final as Delhi find themselves under pressure against set batters Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey.

Taide - 62 off 71 and Shorey - 43 off 63

After a long wait, Delhi finally get the wicket of set batter Atharva Taide who departs after a tremendous 72-ball 62-run knock. It wasn't that great of a delivery, pitched up in line of the stumps but Taide chose to play across and missed the ball completely.

Disappointing end to a very good innings. Ishant Sharma, who is captaining Delhi, makes Taide his 200th scalp in List A cricket.

Another one bites the dust. Dhruv Shorey plays a loose shot towards the leg side and it has been caught by Navdeep Saini. Vidarbha are down to 3 wickets now and their run-rate is dipping as well.

It is drinks break at the moment and signs of major concern for Vidarbha as they are at 150 after 30 overs, which is not good enough. They must score another one fifty runs to threaten Delhi.

Vidarbha are building on towards a decent score with Yash Rathod (35 not out) being the key candidate to take them there. Three wickets have been lost and the run-rate has slowed down as well. Some big overs are needed, for VID to up the ante.

Yash Kadam and Yash Rathore are the new batters in following the dismissal of Ravikumar Samarth through a run-out. Rathod is 2 runs away from his half-century and Vidarbha's run-rate is over 5 now.

Nitish Rana joins the wicket-taking party as he scalps the wicket of Yash Kadam for 19 off 22. Yash Rathod has completed his half-century and he has been joined by number 7 batter Rohit Binkar.

Incredible power hitting from Yash Rathod to finish off in style. He is at 81 off 68 with less than 4 overs to go.

Vidarbha won't be particularly satisfied with their batting performance, especially after the kind of start they had through Atharva Taide and Aman Mokhade.

Dhruv Shorey made a contribution of 49 while Yash Rathod's 86 off 73 from number 5 helped Vidarbha post 300 on the board.

For the Delhi batters, the equation is simple, score 6 runs per over and qualify for the semis.

We are back underway for the 2nd innings of this quarter-final clash. Priyansh Arya and Vaibhav Kandpal open for Delhi. Praful Hinge bowled the first over and leaked only 7 runs.

Priyansh Arya and Vaibhav Kandpal are off to a great start, scoring almost 9 runs per over, which is much more than the required rate.

Delhi have been jolted by the loss of two wickets in their pursuit of 301 set by Vidarbha. Nitish Rana and Priyansh Arya were the two dismissals to fall.

DEL 78-2 (11 Overs)

Delhi need 194 runs with 30 overs remaining and have six wickets in hand. The VID bowlers have made inroads and have snapped up few wickets in the early exchanges. DEL need some luck if they are to chase down 301 against VID.

Anuj Rawat and Mayank Gusain have an imperative task in hand and they will have to formulate a huge partnership in the middle to help Delhi get closer to the target.

Oh no! Not the sight Delhiites were wanting to see. Half of the Delhi team are inside the dressing room now with Mayank Gusain the latest to depart for 18 off 36. Harsh Tyagi has joined Anuj Rawat, but how long can the latter survive?

Delhi are exactly at the half-way mark in terms of runs as they need 151 runs more for the win. The good news is that Anuj Rawat is playing in a composed manner with Harsh Tyagi supporting him well thus far.

Anuj Rawat is the last man standing for Delhi. Harsh Tyagi has also left the crease after scoring 27 and Hrthik Shokeen is the new batter in.

Powerful batting from Anuj Rawat as he is trying to turn the tide and script a magical win for Delhi, who are now 97 runs away from the victory off 53 balls. The game is still hanging in the balance.

Anuj Rawat, who was the last hope of Delhi, has been sent back to the pavilion and Vidarbha are just a wicket away from victory.

That's it. Following Anuj Rawat's dismissal at 66 off 88, the Delhi batting line-up fell down like a house of cards. The Capital outfit, who were led by veteran Ishant Sharma, have bowed out of the competition with a heavy 76-run loss in the quarter-finals.

Number 5 batter Yash Rathod has been named as man of the match for his 86 off 73 from a delicate situation for Vidarbha.
