Cricket News Desk. The Central Zone defeated South Zone by six wickets on Monday after a few ups and downs, and achieved the distinction of becoming the champion of the Dalip Trophy cricket tournament after 11 years. The Central Zone had a slight target of 65 runs, but the bowlers of South Zone took a tough test of its batsmen. The target was not very big, so the central zone did not have much difficulty in achieving it. When the Central Zone achieved the target by scoring 66 runs after losing four wickets in 20.3 overs, Akshay Wadkar (19, 52 balls) and first innings century Yash Rathore (13, 16 balls) were at the crease and won his seventh title in the Dalip Trophy.
Left -arm spinner Ankit Sharma dismissed Danish Malewar (05). His ball reached the hands of wicketkeeper Mohammad Azharuddin with the edge of the bat moving fast. Later, he also took the wicket of Central Zone captain Rajat Patidar, who was caught by MD Nidhish on the mid-on in the hasty side of playing slog sweeps. On Sunday, fast bowler Gurjapanit Singh, who joined India A team on Sunday, took the wickets of Shubham Sharma and Summary Jain (who was later chosen as Player of the Series).
