Delhi produced a solid top-order batting performance to beat Tripura by seven wickets and register their second win in Group B of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, in Dharamsala on Wednesday. Sent into bat, Tripura rode on half-centuries from opener Bishal Ghosh (84), Yashpal Singh (61) and Gurinder Singh (54 not out) to post a challenging 298 for seven in 50 overs. But the total wasn't enough as Tripura bowlers fizzled in front of Delhi's top-order with Nitish Rana top-scoring with a 60-ball unbeaten 94 while chasing down the target in 39.1 overs. Maharashtra defeated Uttar Pradesh comfortably by 105 runs in another Group B match in Bilaspur. Sent into bat, Maharashtra posted a massive 343 for five riding on Ankit Bawane's unbeaten 117 and then bowled out Uttar Pradesh for 238 in 44.3 overs.
