Shikhar Dhawan finally found his touch in Delhi’s last game in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as the southpaw played an innings of 82*, to end the tournament with at least a half-century to his name. He led Delhi to a win over Services when they were chasing a target of 132.

Delhi stumbled in a small chase but once again Nitish Rana played a small but useful innings of 22 to lead them to a win.
