MUMBAI: Given their squad composition,
North Zone
started as overwhelming title favourites in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament. But, after their loss to
Central Zone
on Wednesday - their second straight defeat - the team led by
Harbhajan Singh is virtually out of reckoning.
Central, on the other hand, are alive and kicking, having won two of their three matches thus far. Chasing a competitive 168, North Zone managed 163-6, losing by four runs. Legspinner
Karn Sharma emerged the best of the bowlers, claiming 3-17 off his four overs.
He got rid of openers
Shikhar Dhawan (37 runs; 39 balls, 5x4), Gautam Gambhir (20 runs; 20 balls, 3x4) and Harbhajan (1 run, 4 balls), who came in at No. 3.
