South Zone’s juggernaut continued as they clinched the Deodhar Trophy title for the ninth time with a commanding 45-run win over East Zone in the final here today.

After opener Rohan Kunnummal smacked a sensational 75-ball 107 to set the ball rolling for his side, there was no stopping South, who piled up 328/8 batting first.

South’s impressive bowling line-up then made life miserable for East’s batters, who were bowled out for 283 in 46.1 overs.

Brief scores:

North Zone: 328/8 (Kunnummal 107, Agarwal 63; Utkarsh 2/50);

East Zone: 283 in 46.1 overs (Parag 95; Washington 3/60).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
