Surat, November 14
Shikhar Dhawan failed to score in his first game of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy as Delhi suffered a shock eight-wicket defeat at the hands of Jammu and Kashmir. After Dhawan lasted just nine balls, Nitish Rana took Delhi to 165/7 with 55 runs off 30 balls, a quickfire innings that included six sixes.
Jammu and Kashmir made short work of the 166-run target, racing to victory in 15.5 overs with eight wickets in hand. The flying start to the chase was provided by openers Shubham Khajuria (49 off 22) and Jatin Wadhawan (48 not out off 33) before Manzoor Dar smashed 58 off 24 balls. It was the first loss for Delhi and first victory for Jammu and Kashmir.
