Duleep Trophy: South win big against Central
7 Oct 2013 11:08 PM IST
Former champions South Zone progressed to the semifinal of the Duleep Trophy cricket tournament by pipping West Zone by virtue of a 313-run first innings lead after their four-day quarterfinal match ended in a draw on Sunday.
South Zone will now play Central Zone in the last four game here at the M A Chdambaram Stadium from October 10-13. South Zone’s Malolan Rangarajan (5-101) wrecked havoc, dismissing five West Zone batsmen, while spinners Abhinav Mukund (2-8) and R Aushik Srinivas (2-52) shared four wickets between them.
West Zone’s top-order batsman Aknit Bawne’s chanceless unbeaten 115 (377b, 7x4s, 1x6s) was the highlight of the day. Baba Aparajith was rightly adjudged man-of-the-match for his all-round display.
