Duleep Trophy Final: South Zone consolidates after taking a handy first-innings lead. South Zone tightened its grip on West Zone on the third day of its Duleep Trophy final at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
South Zone tightened its grip on West Zone on the third day of its Duleep Trophy final at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Friday.
Handy contributions from Mayank Agarwal (35), Hanuma Vihari (42), Ricky Bhui (37) and Sachin Baby (28) took South to 181 in seven in the second innings, giving the side an overall lead of 248.
The morning session belonged to South pacer Vidwath Kaverappa, who claimed a First Class career-best haul of seven for 53. West could add only 17 to its overnight tally as Kaverappa cleaned up the three remaining wickets in quick time.
The South batters then consolidated on the handy 67-run innings lead. Mayank and skipper Vihari rescued South from a precarious eight for two with a 64-run third-wicket stand.
Mayank was scalped by left-arm pacer Arzan Nagwaswalla, but the opener did not go quietly. After pulling a short ball to leg gully, Mayank was convinced that Nagwaswalla had erred by banging in a third bouncer for the over.
The third umpire, Saidharshan Kumar, decided that it was a legal delivery. An annoyed Mayank marched to the match referee’s cabin to protest.
