ranji trophy news_six6s live cricket_Ranji Trophy: Delhi beat Mumbai after 43-year gap.
Delhi’s victory was against the odds for many reasons — they hadn’t won a game after their first five matches this season as against Mumbai’s three wins. Delhi were missing regular skipper Yash Dhull due to food poisoning and a host of their first-choice pacers owing to injury. Never mind that Delhi’s only outright win against the 41-time Ranji champions had come way back in the 1979/80 final.
Having taken just 11 deliveries to claim the last Mumbai wicket on the fourth day, the hosts needed just 15.3 overs to knock off the target of 95. The winning runs came from Nitish Rana’s blade, tonking left-arm spinner Shams Mulani for a six over long-on off his first delivery of the innings.
