A star-studded Delhi batting line-up failed to chase 250 against Odisha to suffer their first loss in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Wednesday. Biplab Samantaray (63 off 81) and Subhransu Senapati (59 not out off 50) took Odisha to 249 for four in 48-over a side Group B contest at Palam.

Chasing the target, Gautam Gambhir-led Delhi were 240 all out in 48 overs. Suboth Bhati (42 not out off 36) and Navdeep Saini took Delhi on the brink of an improbably victory with a 66-run stand for the 10th wicket but as it turned out, they were left to do too much in the end. Gambhir (44 off 56) at the top and Rishabh Pant (39 off 33) in the middle order were unable to capitalise on starts, leading to the team's downfall.
