North Zone will begin Day 4 of their Duleep Trophy 2025 first quarter-final match against East Zone at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru on Sunday, 31 August 2025. Already in a commanding position after the end of the first innings, NZ increased their lead to a massive 563 runs going into stumps on the third day, after recording a second-innings total of 388/2.
The match will resume at 9:30 AM IST.
Captain Ankit Kumar (168 off 264) and Yash Dhull (133 off 157) registered two magnificent centuries to help North Zone reach almost three hundred by the fall of the second wicket. Going into stumps on Day 3, Kumar and Ayush Badoni (56 off 78) are at the crease, with the batting side still having eight wickets in hand, although the skipper is likely to declare their innings soon.
Meanwhile, the first quarter-final has gone from bad to worse for East Zone. After a dismal first innings where they were sent packing at 230, their bowlers have failed to get anything out of the pitch on the third day as well, leading to their opponents’ massive total.
With a place in the Duleep Trophy semi-final against West Zone on the line, EZ will look to give a final push on Day 4, hoping for a miraculous turnaround in a match that has completely gone against them so far.
