Preview

The 5th game of the Deodhar Trophy 2023 will be held on July 26 at the Cricket Association Pondicherry Siechem Ground in Puducherry, featuring the East Zone and North East Zone.

The East Zone has squared off against Central Zone in their first encounter in this tournament, and they comfortably chased the target of 208 runs with a loss of just four wickets. Earlier, East Zone elected to bowl, and as planned, they yielded some breakthroughs at regular intervals to haul up the run rate; at one stage, the opponent had reached 172 for the loss of five wickets. In no time, the bowlers picked up another five wickets for 35 runs, which reflects their quality bowling attack. In response, their batters chased down the score with a 91-run stand between the openers, laying the strong foundation for their six-wicket win over the Central Zone. Importantly, this team is filled with multiple all-rounders who can bat until number nine in the batting position.

The top order in the North East Zone is loaded with fresh faces, and they are a very inexperienced camp that lost all ten wickets when batting and picked up only one wicket while defending a 208-run chase. As a result, both the batting and bowling departments must stand up and perform magnificently in order to be the better side of the day in the forthcoming match. The sole bright spot is that their all-rounders have significant experience at this level, and they can rebuild their squad in the centre; yet, this will require a miracle to take off.

Pitch Report

The Pondicherry surface is expected to support the batters. The Pacers had a slight edge in the previous game. The batters who respect the conditions and play skilful drives can survive on this track. The spinner's role was minimal in the recent game; however, they may come in during the later stages of the game.
