A superb 95-ball century plus score by opener and man-of the-match Sachin Dholpure helped Delhi Jets achieve a six wicket win over Mumbai Champs in the third match of the Indian Cricket League 50-a-side domestic tournament in Chennai on Tuesday.
Batting first, Mumbai made a huge 304 for six in their alloted overs with Kiran Powar (92-8x4, 4x6), Nikhil Mandle not out 60 and Dheeraj Yadav 49 chipping in with the willow.
In reply, Dholpure's quick silver 103 of 95 balls with 10 boundaries and four huge sixes and his two worthy partnerships helped Delhi Jets romp home making 307 for 4 in just 38.4 overs.
Chasing the near impossible task of 305 for a win, Delhi Jets lost opener MD Misra (9) with just 27 on board but Abbas Ali (49) and Dholpure scored at whirlwind fashion adding 79 runs in just nine overs for second wicket.
Dholpure, who was run out, also put on 153 runs for the third wicket with JPYadav, who smashed a fine 82 of 64 balls. Dhruv Mahajan, who made 32 of just 19 balls, assured the win for Delhi Jets.
Brief Scores: Mumabi champs 304 for 6 in 50 overs (Kiran Powar 92, Nikhil Mandle not out 60, Dheeraj Yadav 49; Ali Murtaza 2 for 45) lost to Delhi Jets 307 for 4 in 38.4 overs (Sachin Dholpure 103, J.P.Yadav 82, Abbas Ali 49).
