Batting first, Nagaland scored 105/9 in 20 overs with opener Sedezhalie Rupero top-scoring with 27.
The Delhi bowlers were on the money, ensuring a check on the Nagaland batsmen.
Pace bowler Navdeep Saini (2/31), leg-spinner Suyash Sharma (2/18), off-spinners Shivank Vashisht (1/14) and Lalit Yadav (1/11), and medium-pacer Dev Lakra (1/10) shared wickets as Nagaland were restricted to 105/9 in 20 overs.
