Chennai: Bengal’s left-arm spinner Iresh Saxena and part-time leg-break bowler Anustup Majumdar shared nine wickets amongst them as East Zone won their second successive Duleep Trophy title beating Central Zone by virtue of a 43-run first innings lead.

In reply to East Zone’s first innings score of 232, almost all the Central batsmen barring opener Tanmay Srivastava found it difficult to survive on a slow track which also offered appreciable turn as they were shot out for 189.

Left-arm spinner Iresh had career-best figures of five for 58 while Majumdar, who had done the star turn with bat during their maiden triumph last season, bamboozled the opposition with his leg-breaks and googlies to end with 4-29 in 7.5 overs. (PTI)

Brief scores:

East 1st inn: 232-10, 101.5 overs (Ishank Jaggi 100 not out; Jalaj Saxena 5-62)

Central 1st inn: 189-10, 83.5 overs (Tanmay Srivastava 94; Iresh Saxena 5-58)

East 2nd inn: 8-0, 5 overs
