It's all Delhi in the fourth quarterfinal and they take revenge for their defeat against Vidarbha last year. They are proving too hot to handle at the moment, especially with their bowling, and if they keep up the consistency, they can go all the way to win the title. Right! It's time to end the coverage here and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh signing off on behalf of Shashwat.

Anuj Rawat, Player of the Match: My partner had been giving us good starts but today he got out early. It was my responsibility to play the anchor role and happy that I did it well today. The wicket we played on during the league stages was more difficult. We knew if we could get past 180, we would be able to defend it. Captain and myself were talking about what score would be suitable on this pitch. (On his keeping) I have been keeping exceptionally in the league stages as well and happy that I could continue today.
Vidarbha played some fabulous cricket in the league phase but they can't stand closer against this strong Delhi outfit. After last year's blockbuster clash between these two teams, there were a lot of expectations on this one but Delhi stepped up with the bat and posted an above-par total on the board, and in reply, they controlled things really well with the ball in the middle phase to put Vidarbha under the pump.
They had a good start inside the powerplay but once the field spread, Delhi's all-round spin attack helped the team regain control and created the dot-ball pressure. Taide looked settled in the powerplay but even he couldn't have any answers against the spinners as Lalit got the better of him.
Shubham Dubey stuck at one end and looked good but he didn't get any support from the batters at the other end. The asking rate kept climbing and Vidarbha batters didn't show any urgency and when they did, they made their way back to the pavilion. Shubham's struck a few a boundaries in the last over and that only helped the team to reduce the deficit of the defeat

19.6 Navdeep Saini to Shubham Dubey, DELHI WIN, AND AT A CANTER REALLY! Full and speared into the stumps. Dubey drives it down to long off and trudges across to the other end. A professional bowling display to back up what was a strong batting performance, and Vidarbha, on this sort of surface, will be left ruing the way they batted, and how far they fell behind early!
19.5 Navdeep Saini to Shubham Dubey, dug in short outside off. Dubey hacks it towards deep mid wicket. Does not take the single
19.4 Navdeep Saini to Shubham Dubey, off-pace, and quite full outside off. Dubey throws his hands at it and slices it over extra cover for a couple of runs
19.3 Navdeep Saini to Shubham Dubey, SHOT! Right in the slot on off stump. Dubey swings through the line and blasts it over mid off for yet another boundary!
19.3 Navdeep Saini to Shubham Dubey, slower but much wider outside off. Dubey leaves it alone as the umpire calls it a wide
19.2 Navdeep Saini to Shubham Dubey, SIX MORE! Banged into the track outside off. Dubey continues swinging and gets a thick outside edge that clears the third man fence comfortably!
