Kolkata, Jan 26 - Delhi won the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament for the first time beating Rajasthan by 41 runs at the Eden Gardens here 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 (36-ball, 52) but sedate 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.
Garhwal, 21, cut and slashed the spinners and drove and pulled the pacers to reach his 50 off 31 balls creaming seven balls to the fence. 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.
