North Zone vs East Zone Live Score: Ankit, Dhull hundreds grind East Zone, take North Zone closer to semifinals
Skipper Ankit Kumar and Yash Dhull struck fine centuries to put North Zone in complete command of their Duleep Trophy quarterfinal against East Zone on Saturday.
Resuming with a 175-run first-innings lead, North batted again and reached 388/2 at stumps on day three, leading overall by 563. The pair added 240 runs for the second wicket, combining Ankit’s patience with Dhull’s aggression.
East’s bowlers, led by Mohammed Shami, could not make inroads, with dropped catches compounding their woes. Dhull eventually fell to Riyan Parag, but Ankit accelerated late as North tightened their grip on the match.
