After the former was dismissed by Arjun Rapria in the ninth over, Purani Dilli again collapsed to find themselves at 116\/8 in the 16th over.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Lalit Yadav and Rajneesh Dadar then added 34 runs for the ninth wicket but after the former was dismissed by Harshit in the final over, Purani Dilli folded for 152, handing North Delhi a 27-run win. Deepanshu Gulia picked three wickets.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Asked if the decision at the toss cost them the match, Vansh told\u00a0<em>News18 CricketNext,\u00a0<\/em>\u201c<span class=\"cf0\">It was the perfect decision for us. <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">There was a lot of difference on the pitch.
