Delhi kept their quarter-final hopes alive by notching up a comprehensive 10-wicket triumph over laggards Maharashtra in their fifth Ranji Trophy Super League Group B match on Friday.
Their second successive win gave Delhi six points, taking their overall tally to 15, and Virat Kohli's side now needs to beat Bengal in their final group engagement to be in the hunt for quarterfinals.
After Pradeep Sangwan's five-wicket burst left them 334 for nine at stumps yesterday, Maharashtra's innings folded up after adding just 25 runs to the overnight total.
Parvinder Awana had Samad Fallah (28) caught by Aditya Jain to bring down the curtains on Maharashtra's innings. Needing just 109 runs to win the match, Delhi romped home in just 17.1 overs with Virat and Mithun Manhas combining for a 112-run unbeaten opening stand.

Delhi: 419 & 112 Maharashtra: 163 & 364 (following on).
