Jadeja scored his second century of the season in just 110 balls even as Awana returned for his second spell to bag two more wickets. Once Yogesh Nagar got rid of Jobanputra with Saurashtra at 253/9, Jadeja quickly switched gears, killing time and holding strike.
Delhi finally took the second new ball after 85.4 overs and Awana got his second consecutive five-wicket haul when he took a soft return catch to end Jadeja’s defiance and allow his batsmen to go for the kill.
Delhi now need to win their last league match, and hope that Saurashtra, one point ahead of them in the points tally with 18, don’t get an equal five in their game against Hyderabad.
