Duleep Trophy: Nabi's Five-for Including Hat-trick Helps North Zone Take 175-run Lead Over East Zone
BCCI COE Ground: Jammu and Kashmir fast bowling all-rounder Auqib Nabi produced a sensational spell, grabbing four wickets in four balls on the way to picking a five-for, as North Zone seized a commanding 175-run lead over East Zone on day two of the Duleep Trophy at the BCCI COE Ground 1 on Friday.
The day seemed to head towards a simple end until Nabi, on his Duleep Trophy debut, turned the game on its head to pick four wickets in four balls, as East Zone slipped from 200/4 to 223/9 and were eventually all out for 230 in 56.1 overs. In all, Nabi has become the fourth bowler to pick four wickets in four balls in first-class cricket.
In the morning, East Zone left-arm spinner Manishi finished with six wickets as North Zone were bowled out for 405 in 95.2 overs. Mayank Dagar was first wicket to fall when he nicked behind off Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal. Nabi survived some hostile bowling from Mohammed Shami and even pulled him for six, before being trapped lbw for 44 by Manishi, a knock laced with five fours and two sixes.
