http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Duleepsinhji-c71867 Trophy’s first semi-final is heading towards a conclusive end with East Zone leading by 152 for six at stumps on the third day of play against South Zone at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam.
The day began with South Zone resuming their first innings from an overnight score of 134 for five.
However, before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Amit-Verma-c44057 and CM Gautam could get going, the latter lost his wicket without adding a run to his overnight tally of eight. At the time of this wicket, South were sitting on 137.
It was then time for skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Vinay-Kumar-c2237, to join Verma in the middle and the two batsmen forged a potent resistance against their opposition with both batsmen hammering the bowlers out of town and taking the score to 202, before SS Quadri trashed the party when he caught and bowled Verma for 49.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mithun-c41242 then helped his captain take the score to 220 before he also met his end when he was dismissed by Quadri in a similar fashion with 12 runs to his name.
With Kumar as the highest scorer for jabbing a knock of 61, South Zone crumbled in their first innings on 244.
East Zone might have thought they would have it easy in their second innings but were given a shocker by their opponents on losing their first wicket for nil in the first over.
The second-wicket partnership between DS Jadhav and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jadhav-c65258 was trapped in front of stumps by Amit Verma on 21.
Behera then took the score to 98 while batting alongside AP Majumdar before perishing after hammering a knock of 60 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SS-Tiwary-c2565, was unimpressive today as he fell without scoring a run, this put BB Samantray in the middle and the batsman stayed unbeaten on ten at stumps alongside B Mohanty for six.
Meanwhile, Majumdar was the second best batsman for his side with a knock of 22 runs.
