South Zone vs East Zone Live स्कोर, Final of Duleep Trophy, 2026

Short again, swung away off the hips and down to deep square leg for one more.

Milind sticks to the plan, bowling it short around leg. Kushagra half pulls it through backward square leg for a single.

Another one that is dug in short but spilled down leg. Kushagra looks to pull but misses. There's also a stifled appeal for caught behind from Narayan Jagadeesan, but the ball is well away from the blade.

Banged in short again, down leg. Kishan moves inside the line and pulls it down to fine leg for a single.

Back of a length, attacking the ribs, Kishan hops up a bit and stabs it across to wide mid on.

Short-pitched delivery, around shoulder height and over middle. Kishan sways away from the line of the ball.

Flighted up outside off, driven down to long off for a single.

FOUR! Poor delivery, and it gets the treatment as well. Dragged well short on middle, Ishan Kishan goes deep in the crease and swats the pull past square leg for a boundary. The East Zone skipper has now moved into the 90s.

Bowled from over the wicket, turning it into the pads. Kishan clipsit across to mid-wicket.

Floated up, in and around off, Kishan leans on to block.

Fuller now and wide of the off stump. Kishan drives it to the left of sweeper cover and picks up a couple of quick runs.

Good length, pushing it back into the stumps. Kishan punches it from the crease to mid on.

Slight halt! Ishan Kishan is feeling the heat as he has been batting for a very long time. The physio comes out to have a check on him. After taking some energy fluids, he is looking fine to continue.

Banged in short around leg, this is pulled down to fine leg for a single.

Shorter one outside off, jammed down to cover.

Oh, the bowler will be fuming at the moment, because all these fielding mishaps are getting added to his tally. Short again, on leg, pulled down towards deep mid-wicket and the batters race back for two. The throw is at the keeper's end, and Narayan Jagadeesan tries to hurry Kumar Kushagra at the non-striker's end with the throw. However, there's no one backing up, and once he misses the stumps, the ball rolls away to the long off fence, making it a total of 6 runs. The 100-run partnership is also up between these two.

FOUR! 'Catch, catch, catch,' is the call, but the fielder doesn't pick it up one bit. A well-directed short ball, around the front shoulder. Ishan Kishan miscues the pull and gets it wide of fine leg. Shreyas Gopal doesn't move an inch, and even if he had, he wouldn't have got to the catch, but could have saved the boundary.

Dug in well short and around off, Kishan leaves it alone for the keeper to collect.

FOUR! There's a fielder there for that exact shot, but Ishan Kishan isn't bothered. Short ball from around the wicket, on leg, Kishan smacks the pull flat and hard to the right of the diving deepish square leg fielder for a boundary.

Chama Milind (10-1-31-2) has returned into the attack.

Flighted fuller and outside off, pushed wide to the right of the cover fielder for another easy single.

Good length at the stumps, Kishan stays back and tucks it to mid-wicket.

Floated up outside the off stump, guided away with an open bat face and down to deep third for a couple of quick runs.

Gopal pulls the length back, bowling it flatter and outside off. Kishan rocks back and punches it to cover.

Bowled wide of the off stump, drifting it in. Kishan defends it on the front foot.

Tossed up on middle, Kushagra shows the full face of the blade and drives it down to long off for a single. Kushagra now moves on to 48.

An expensive over from Tripurana Vijay. Shreyas Gopal to continue.

Pushed through quicker on the pads, eased down to long on for one. 16 off the over, a big one for East Zone.

SIX! Tripurana Vijay is being put away to the cleaners right now. Tossed up on the pads, Kushagra reads it early, shimmies down the track and tonks it over wide deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Bowled from around the stumps, floated on the pads, and Kushagra works it onto the leg side.
