Patel powered Gujarat to 273 for nine before their medium pacers R P Singh (4/42) and Jasprit Bumrah (5/28) brought the star-studded Delhi batting to its knees, dismissing the 2013-13 winners for 134 in 32.3 overs.

The start to the chase could not have been worse Delhi, who lost Rishabh Pant off the first ball of the match before seeing the back of Shikhar Dhawan (5) and skipper Gautam Gambhir (9).

There was a glimmer of hope as long as Unmukt Chand (33) was in the middle but that was also dashed with his dismissal in the 17th over, leaving Delhi derailed at 59 for five. Pawan Negi delayed the inevitable with a fighting 57 off 47 balls.

Brief scores: Gujarat 273 for 9(Parthiv Patel 105, Rujul Bhatt 60, Pawan Negi 2/36) bt Delhi 134(Pawan Negi 57, RP Singh 4/42, Jasprit Bumrah 5/28).
