Duleep Trophy 2025 Live Score: North Zone extend lead past 600 against East Zone
Duleep Trophy 2025 Live Score: North Zone all but sealed their place in the Duleep Trophy semifinals with a commanding display against East Zone on Saturday. Leading by 175 runs on first innings, skipper Ankit Kumar and young Yash Dhull produced centuries of contrasting styles to push North to 388/2 at stumps on day three, stretching their overall lead to a mammoth 563.
After opener Shubham Khajuria fell early, Ankit and Dhull put together a ruthless 240-run stand for the second wicket. Dhull, aggressive from the outset, scored freely through the off side and reached his eighth first-class ton in 112 balls, riding his luck after being dropped on 48. Ankit played the anchor role, reaching his century in 155 deliveries before switching gears later.
East Zone’s bowlers toiled fruitlessly, with Mohammed Shami offering brief sparks but unable to deliver sustained breakthroughs, while the absence of Mukesh Kumar further weakened their attack. Missed catches only worsened matters. Dhull eventually fell to Riyan Parag, but Ankit floored the accelerator as North piled on runs in the final session, adding 98 in the last hour. With such a towering lead, North Zone look firmly on course for a semifinal berth, leaving East with little hope.
