During the semifinal round of the Duleep Trophy 2025, West Zone locked horns with Central at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground B in Bengaluru. On the other hand, South Zone met North Zone during the first semifinal at the A-ground in Bengaluru. Some of the stars of the Indian Test team turned up for the action in the middle.
West Zone’s captain, Shardul Thakur, won the toss and decided to bat first on the solid batting surface. He would have thought of changing the decision when they found themselves 10/2 in the fourth ball. But Ruturaj Gaikwad held the ship, and by the time he ended with 184 runs in 206 balls, they were in a great spot.

It felt like an absolutely different surface for the contest between the South Zone and the North Zone. Ankit Kumar won the toss and decided to put South in. They made two changes to the side from the quarter-finals as Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh made way out due to their national commitment to the Asia Cup 2025.
The 103-run opening stand between Tanmay Agarwal and wicket-keeper Narayan Jagadeesan provided them a fine platform. The latter stayed undefeated for 148 runs in 260 balls at a strike rate of 56.92, thanks to 13 boundaries and a couple of sixes. The number four batter, Devdutt Padikkal, drilled 57 runs in 71 balls with seven boundaries.
South Zone ended the opening day with 297/3 in 81 overs. The two wickets came from Nishant Sindhu as South Zone will aim to continue the same dominance with the bat and end with a huge score on the board.
