Bengal rolled Delhi out of the game, snatching a 9‑wicket win on Wednesday after a 277‑run dismissal and a swift 89‑run chase—first innings 429 to 240, then 89 to win in 15.3 overs.
Pradipta Pramanik led the Bengal bowlers with 3 for 32, turning the tide in the 60th over when he struck Delhi’s top‑order pair, setting the stage for the final collapse.
Delhi’s chase was anchored by Ayush Badoni’s 85 off 134, but the partnership unraveled after his dismissal to Pramanik’s 3rd wicket, with the side falling from 213 for 6 to 277 for 10 in just 106.2 overs.
On the same day, Gujarat’s Siddharth Desai smashed a 5‑for‑36 haul to demolish Odisha, a 10‑wicket win that also netted a bonus point for the new‑season side.
With Bengal’s dominant start, the team now looks ahead to their next Group C clash against Jharkhand, hoping to keep the momentum alive.
