New Delhi: Opener Faiz Fazal struck a defiant half-century before the visiting bowlers made it count to help Vidarbha beat Delhi by 18 runs in the Group C Vijay Hazare cricket encounter in New Delhi on Friday.

Electing to bat at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium, Vidarbha rode on Fazal's 83 to post 163 all out in 45.2 overs -- a score which proved challenging in the low-scoring encounter.
