Apart from a solid effort from Mandeep, it was Taruwar Kohli, who made the fight for Punjab with an unbeaten 47 off&nbsp;39 balls.
Haryana medium-pacer Ashish Hooda picked up 3 wickets while skipper Harshal Patel, who shared the new ball with&nbsp;Joginder Sharma, bagged 2 wickets.
Gettin behind their 253-run chase, Haryana were given a solid start by openers Avi Barot (53) and Sunny Singh (25) but Sachin Rana it was who stood out with an unbeaten 71.
After turning it with the ball, off-spinner Jayant also contributed with the bat, scoring a valuable 32 at No.8.
For Punjab also it was off-spinner Gurkeerat Singh Mann who bagged 2 wickets while Harbhajan also scalped one.
In another game at Dharamsala, Services edged out Himachal Pradesh by 2 wickets to gain vital 4 points on Day 1&nbsp;of the tournament.
