Duleep final poised for exciting finish

ScorecardCentral Zone’s overnight score of 94 for 4 seemed comfortable till the devastation on the second day. Six wickets fell for the addition of a mere 39 runs as North Zone’s bowlers shared wickets and shot out Central Zone for 133. But, if North harboured ideas of making a strong comeback in the match, they were cut short as Sanjay Bangar and Harvinder Singh picked up three wickets apiece and ensured that the trend of low-scoring continued in this match. North Zone mustered just 169 in their second dig, leaving Central Zone with a target of 141 for victory. They began their second innings, but did not get off the mark when stumps were drawn on the second day.
