Hatrick of wins for West Zone as they beat North Zone quite comprehensively to lift the trophy. Spinners Vasavada and Patel were the pick of the bowlers as they shared 5 wickets among them. The rot started very early in the chase, loosing Gambhir and they never got up since then. And that concludes our coverage of this match and the series. This is Thilak and Chandan signing off, take care, cheers!
