    West Zone clinched consecutive wins in the 2023 Deodhar Trophy in Puducherry. This time they defeated North Zone by six wickets to stay in contention for reaching the final.

    Courtesy of fifties from Harvik Desai, Shivam Dube and Kathan Patel, WZone chased down NZone's target of 260 in 48.5 overs and claimed a well-deserved win.

    Earlier, Shams Mulani played his role in restricting NZone.

    Summary

    How did the match pan out?

    Batting first NZone lost two wickets inside 18 overs (82/2). But crucial contributions from Nitish Rana, Himanshu Rana and Shubham Rohilla helped them reach a total of 259/6 in their 50 overs.

    WZone's Mulani starred with figures of 3/29.

    In reply, Desai slammed consecutive fifties, while Dube and Patel added 138 runs together to help WZone cross the line in 48.5 overs.

    Nitish Rana

    A captain's knock from Nitish Rana's blade

    Rana slammed a 58-ball 54 which steadied the ship for the NZone.

    He was involved in a couple of fruitful partnerships which helped them get to the total.

    This was his 14th List A fifty and second in this edition of the tournament.

    Playing his 70th List A game, Nitish has amassed 2,209 runs in this format at an average in excess of 38.

    Himanshu came to the crease when Prabhsimran Singh was dismissed and NZone were 36/1.

    He added 50 runs with Abhishek Sharma and then added 49 more runs with skipper Nitish, taking the total beyond the 130-run mark.

    The 24-year-old registered his fifth half-century in List A cricket.

    His 54-run knock helped him reach 1,134 runs in 38 List A matches at 32-plus average.

    Rohilla

    A blazing hand from Rohilla

    The wicket-keeper batter has amassed 992 runs in 32 List A matches at 31-plus average.

    Shivam Dube

    A game-changing knock from Dube

    Dube came to the crease when WZone were 90/3 in 18.4 overs.

    The Mumbai-based dasher tried steading the ship but lost Desai after they added 32 runs together.

    Later, he added 138 runs with Patel, taking WZone over the line.

    This is Dube's second List A fifty and overall he has amassed 922 runs in 51 List A matches at 40-plus average.

    Kathan Patel

    Notably, this was Patel's second List A half-century as he slammed an 85-ball 63.

    His knock was studded with six boundaries.

    Overall, he has scored 632 runs in List A cricket.
