Duleep Trophy 2025 Live Score: Early wickets dent North East Zone in massive 679 chase against Central Zone
Duleep Trophy 2025 Live Score: Central Zone virtually confirmed their place in the Duleep Trophy semi-final after extending their overall lead to a mammoth 678 runs against North East Zone on the third day in Anantapur. The morning session saw North East, who resumed at 168/7 in response to Central’s massive 532/4, fold for 185. India pacers Deepak Chahar and Khaleel Ahmed, ordinary on Day 2, struck early to polish off the lower order. With a first-innings lead of 347, Central further tightened the noose in their second innings, finishing the day at 331/7.
The innings revolved around MP captain Shubham Sharma’s patient 122 off 215 balls. He first added 122 runs for the fourth wicket with skipper Rajat Patidar, who played freely for his 66, peppered with sixes, before falling while accelerating. Later, Shubham partnered with Yash Rathod (78 off 83) in a 131-run stand that drained the North East bowlers. The one-sided nature of the game left the final day a mere formality, with Central pushing for a win. Attention now shifts to Kuldeep Yadav, who bowled 20 wicketless overs in the first innings. After being benched in England, he will be eager to claim wickets before the Asia Cup.
