Tamil Nadu Sports Journalists Association: North Zone inched closer to winning the JK Bose Inter-Zonal T20 Cricket Trophy title after Rishabh Singh blazed an unbeaten century to power them to a crushing 10-wicket victory over South Zone on day two of the tournament at the Roshanara Cricket Ground in New Delhi on Sunday.

Rishabh's 100 not out off 54 balls headlined a dominant chase for North Zone as they overhauled South Zone's competitive 187/4 in 18.2 overs. Captain Akash Rawal contributed 38 before retiring hurt, while Amit remained unbeaten on 33 as North Zone cantered home with ease.

South Zone had earlier posted a challenging total on the back of Shiva Krishna's 89 and VL Sashank's 50, but their effort proved woefully inadequate against a North side in imperious form. A win against East Zone on Monday will hand North Zone the trophy.
