Gautam Gambhir's 95 and another half-century from Kunal Chandela enabled Delhi to romp into the Ranji Trophy semi-finals with a seven-wicket win against Madhya Pradesh
Half-centuries from Harpreet Singh and Puneet Datey proved insufficient in setting Delhi a target beyond 217, especially in light of Madhya Pradesh having earlier conceded a first-innings lead
Madhya Pradesh finished the third day at 47 for 2, still trailing Delhi by 20 runs after they were bowled out for 405
Harpreet Singh Bhatia converted his overnight 47 to 107 not out to stretch MP's total to 338 but Delhi hit back with fifties from the rookies
The highest partnership any MP pair could post was 59, as the Delhi bowlers - led by left-arm spinner Vikas Mishra - kept the pressure on the batting team through the day
