Deodhar Trophy 2023: Atit Sheth leads West Zone to thrilling one-wicket win over Central
The HinduAtit Sheth’s calm and collected half-century in the midst of distress led West Zone to a one-wicket win over Central Zone in a humdinger of a contest in the Deodhar Trophy at the Siechem stadium here on Friday. Harvik Desai and captain Priyank Panchal gave West Zone a solid start before Central Zone opener Shivam Chaudhary broke the back of its chase with his golden arm. Karn Sharma, Aditya Sarwate and part-timer Yash Kothari also played their part in the middle-overs choke-hold on a slowing pitch, before Rajvardhan Hangargekar’s whirlwind innings coupled with Sheth’s street-smart cricket helped West Zone pull off a heist to secure its second win in the tournament.
