A decent top order start with Mayank coming at no.4 changed the game in a matter of few overs as he clobbered bowlers in every corner of the ground en-route his impressive 125 in just 65 balls (16 fours, 5 sixes). Again his innings was a perfect mixture of hard hitting and toying with the bowlers pushing Tomar C.A to a good total. Delhi Warriors in reply were all out for 131 and it was all-rounder Mayank with the ball too coming up with envious bowling figures of 5/23 in 5 overs being the pick of the bowlers.
