DY Patil T20 Cup: Dalal leads record charge for ONGC

Hiten Dalal's 44-ball 113 studded with seven boundaries and 12 sixes led ONGC to a record total of 280 for 4 in their 20 overs in the 15th DY Patil T20 Cup against Indian Oil on Thursday.

This is reputed to be the highest T20 team total at any level in all representative cricket.

Dalal's blitzkrieg ensured that ONGC registered an easy 62-run win over Indian Oil.

In the other games, India star Yuvraj Singh's 80 off 57 balls, studded with 7 fours and 4 sixes, went in vain as Air India could not defend 169-7 against Mumbai Customs.

Mumbai Ranji opener Vikrant Auti (86: 52b, 9x4, 2x6) and Swapnil Pradhan's unbeaten 67 (53b, 6x4) helped Customs win with nine wickets to spare.

Earlier in the day at the D Y Patil University Ground in Navi Mumbai, Bharat Chipli's 90 helped Canara Bank post 202 in 19 overs against Jain Irrigation.

That proved to be enough as Jain Irrigation were bowled out for 128 in 18.1 overs thaks to Praveen Dubey's spell of 5 for 23 which handed Canara Bank a 74-run win.

Meanwhile, CAG rode on fast bowler Sayan Ghosh's spell of 5 for 31 to beat RBI by seven wickets at the D Y Patil Stadium.
