Mumbai cruise into semis

Mumbai 156 (Patil 54, Narwal 3-37) and 450 (Herwadkar 161, Manan 4-92) beat Delhi 166 (Sehwag 49, Thakur 5-54) and 236 (Bhatia 49, Sandhu 3-35, Thakur 3-59) by 204 runs
Scorecard

Medium-pacer Balwinder Sandhu claimed three of the six wickets on the last day in Cuttack as Mumbai cruised past Delhi by 204 runs and sealed their semi-final spot.

Chasing 441, Delhi mounted some resistance through Rajat Bhatia's 49 off 122 balls, after Shardul Thakur dismissed the overnight batsman, Manan Sharma, for 16 in the fifth over of the day. Bhatia added 33 with Virender Sehwag to take Delhi to 150. Sandhu, however, ended the stand in the 56th over, bowling Sehwag for 19. Sehwag came out to bat at No. 7, because a viral prevented him from taking the field for much of Mumbai's second innings.

It was not long before left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh dismissed Bhatia and Sumit Narwal, as Delhi subsided from an overnight 110 for 4 to 199 for 9. The last-wicket pair of Pradeep Sangwan and Parvinder Awana put on 37 to frustrate Mumbai, but all it did was reduce the margin of defeat.

Sandhu finished with figures of 3 for 35, while Wilkin Mota and Harmeet took two apiece.
