- BATSMENRB4s6sSR18.3 Devdhar throws it finally, tossed up delivery on off, he walks down the track and a slog against the turn, paid the price as it skies towards long-on. Pandey places underneath it and holds that without any trouble. 57/24 Anureet once again gets the break through early in the innings, back of a length delivery which was angling across from middle and leg, forces Patel to play at it, squared him touch as it took the outside edge and Rawat holds that moving to his left. 6/135.5 fine innings comes to an end, a brilliant catch by Anureet, Pujara throws his wicket to a nothing delivery. Full toss on middle and leg as Pujara swipe it to wide of deep backward square leg, Anureet runs to his right and holds a good catch, full marks. 124/524.2 lovely delivery, Karn pushes that quicker in the air, pitches it on middle and turning away. Rayudu waits on the back foot and tries to open the face and run it down to third man, was too quick and close for that and an edge ends up in the gloves of Rawat. 77/329.3 Chawla strikes as Jhadav chops that back onto the stumps, that's been pushes quicker in the air and kept it short around off which straightens. Jadhav waits on the back foot and tries to cut it, a bit close for that and ends up dragging that back. 105/448.2 Pathan innings comes to an end, tossed up delivery on middle and leg, Pathan backs away and drives it uppishly towards long-off, he gets the required elevation but not the distance to clear the ropes as he picked Anureet there. 223/842.2 tossed up delivery outside off, Vasavada gets down on one knee and goes for a sweep, didn't timed it well and a top edge lobs towards short fine leg. Karn runs to his left and you can't expect to miss those, Chawla gets his second. 172/647.5 fuller in length outside off, driven off the front foot to wide of long-off. Pathan calls for the second and Patel responses, Shrivastava get rid of the ball quickly and a direct throw towards the bowler's end caught Patel short of the crease. 219/748.5 Chawla picks another one, flighted delivery around off, he stays on the crease and goes for a chip once again towards the cover region, he was not to the pitch of the delivery as it went flat towards Anureet once again at long-off 226/9Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL233/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.66)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Parthiv Patel, 3.6 ov), 2-57 (Kedar Devdhar, 18.3 ov), 3-77 (Ambati Rayudu, 24.2 ov), 4-105 (Kedar Jadhav, 29.3 ov), 5-124 (Cheteshwar Pujara, 35.5 ov), 6-172 (Arpit Vasavada, 42.2 ov), 7-219 (Axar Patel, 47.5 ov), 8-223 (Yusuf Pathan, 48.2 ov), 9-226 (Dhawal Kulkarni, 48.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 Unadkat strikes, good length delivery which was angled in and pitches around off and shaped away with a bit of extra bounce. Fazal was walking down the track and checks his shot as he defends, goes through the outside edge to the keeper. 4/14 change of pace and that one moves in touch, not like those big ones that he was getting earlier. Saxena stride forward and he has to reaches to drive that, ends up with an edge and Patel dives to his right and holds that on the jump. 15/235.4 Kulkarni strikes again, that's a terrific catch by Parthiv, on a good length outside off which moves away. Shrivastava stays on the crease and tries to drive that way from his body, ends up with an edge back towards the keeper where he has to dive full length to right and hold off an another good catch. 136/517.4 that's the third catch for Patel, back of a length delivery which was pitched outside off and shapes away with good bounce. Ojha stays on the crease and tries to dab it towards backward point, movement was good enough to get an edge. 57/324 Vasavada gets the wicket, tossed up delivery on off, Rawat just stride forward and a gentle push towards short cover where Rayudu accepts that sitter. It looked as if he was doing some catching practice there, was not in song from the start of his innings. 73/437.1 Chawla walks back, all of a sudden they lost too many wickets. Good length delivery which was pitched around off and by then Chawla already backed up towards leg and the away movement makes him to reach to it, ends up with an edge to Patel, that's the sixth for the night which is a Deodhar Trophy record for a keeper. 140/835.5 Nath goes for a duck, that's second in a row, good length delivery which straightens on middle and leg. He walks across a bit and was early to flick that through on side, plays across the line and umpire raises the finger, plumb infront! 136/636.4 that's the fifth catch for Patel, back of a length which angles in before pitching it on off and shapes away with good bounce. The movement gets Karn on the back foot as an half hearted push ends up in the hands of Patel. 140/741.2 Vasavada gets another wicket, tossed up delivery on off and turning away, he gets down on on knee for a slog sweep, he was not to the pitch of it and a flat shot ends up in the hands of Pujara at short midwicket 161/944.3 its all over, flatter and on a length down leg, that was too quicker as he comes down the track to hoick to on side. Yadav misses the line and Parthiv does the rest, he had a good time behind the stumps. West Zone enters the final. 191/10Extras14 (lb 6, w 8)TOTAL191 all out (44.3 Overs, RR: 4.29)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Faiz Fazal, 0.5 ov), 2-15 (Jalaj Saxena, 3.6 ov), 3-57 (Naman Ojha, 17.4 ov), 4-73 (Mahesh Rawat, 23.6 ov), 5-136 (Shalabh Shrivastava, 35.4 ov), 6-136 (Akshdeep Nath, 35.5 ov), 7-140 (Karn Sharma, 36.4 ov), 8-140 (Piyush Chawla, 37.1 ov), 9-161 (Ishwar Pandey, 41.2 ov), 10-191 (Umesh Yadav, 44.3 ov)
