\nDharamsala, Jan 30 (CRICKETNMORE) India opener Shikhar Dhawan's poor run with the willow continued as Delhi went down to Punjab by two wickets in a thrilling Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament North Zone tie here on Monday.\n<\/p>
\nDhawan, who failed miserably in the three-match One-day International series (ODI) against England recently, managed just two runs from six balls before falling to Manpreet Gony in the second over.<\/p>
\nDhawan's opening partner Gautam Gambhir, who made a return to the India team in Tests after a two-year gap against New Zealand, too got out for just five as Delhi could never stitch together a healthy partnership and were bundled out for a meagre 103\/9 with Milind Kumar top-scoring with 26. <\/p>
\nGony took three wickets while Sandeep Sharma picked up two.<\/p>
\nBut it was not so easy for the Harbhajan Singh-led Punjab side, who recovered from being 3\/3 at one stage to ride Sharad Lumba's (36) good show with the bat to cross the line with four balls and two wickets to spare in the last over.<\/p>
\nIt was relatively smooth sailing in another match for Mumbai who beat just-crowned Ranji Trophy champions Gujarat by five wickets with 10 balls to spare. <\/p>
\nIn reply to Gujarat's 131, Shreyas Iyer's 79 off just 49 deliveries sealed the deal for Mumbai in Vadodara.<\/p>
\nIn the other West Zone game, Ankit Bawne -- who along with Swapnil Gugale put together 594 runs for Maharashtra in what is the highest stand for any wicket in a Ranji Trophy match -- scored a match-winning 71 off 52 balls to help Maharashtra beat Saurashtra by 15 runs at Vadodara.<\/p>
\nIndia Test regular Cheteshwar Pujara mustered just four runs.<\/p>
\nDown South, Hyderabad rode on opener Tanmay Agarwal's pyrotechnics (85 off 49 balls) to thrash hosts Tamil Nadu by 72 runs in Chennai. Hyderabad posted 165\/5 to which the home side had no reply, falling for 93 in 19.1 overs. <\/p>
\nHyderabad medium pacer Chama Milind returned with figures of 4\/18.<\/p>
\nElsewhere, Madhya Pradesh beat Rajasthan in Jaipur by 17 runs while Andhra won by six wickets against Goa in Chennai.<\/p>
\nThe Services beat Jammu and Kashmir by five runs at Nadaun while Chhattisgarh won a low scoring affair against Vidarbha by nine wickets in Jaipur. <\/p>
\nHosts Himachal Pradesh clinched a cliff-hanger against Haryana by five wickets here.<\/p>
