Rohtak, Nov 6 (PTI) Delhi produced an all-round clinical show to thrash Uttar Pradesh by nine wickets and notch up their second consecutive win in a Group E match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament here on Saturday.
Invited to bat, Uttar Pradesh could only score a meagre 108 for 8 in their 20 overs with the Delhi pace quartet, led by Deepak Punia (3/15), tormenting them throughout their innings.
Simarjeet Singh and Pradeep Sangwan took two wickets apiece while Navdeep Saini got one.
For Uttar Pradesh, Madhav Kaushik top-scored with a 37-ball 30 while his fellow opener Abhishek Goswami contributed 21.
Delhi then chased down the target of 109 with 40 balls to spare with opener Anuj Rawat scoring a 32-ball 50.
The other opener Dhruv Shorey and one-down Nitish Rana remained not out on 38 and 14 respectively as Delhi reached 109 for 1 in 13.2 overs.
On Friday, Delhi had beaten Chandigarh by seven wickets.
In another Group E match at Sultanpur, Manan Vohra's unbeaten century (106 not out off 64 balls) went in vain as Hyderabad -- who rode on half centuries from Hanuma Vihari (57) and Tilak Verma (61 not out) -- beat Chandigarh by eight wickets.
In the last Group E match of the day, also at Sultanpur, Saurashtra beat Uttarakhand by two runs.
