Vidwath Kaverappa (four for 44) sliced through a strong West Zone line-up to give South Zone the edge on the second day on their Duleep Trophy final at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Thursday.
On another day cut short by rain and bad light, West Zone slid to 129 for seven, 84 runs short of South Zone’s first innings total.
West Zone was cruising towards gaining the innings lead at 97 for one, with Prithvi Shaw and Harvik Desai going strong. Desai (21, 61b, 3x4) threw away his wicket, chasing a wide delivery from Kaverappa.
