East takes on Central today

G. Viswanath

Mumbai: The last four matches of the All Star Series Deodhar Trophy cricket tournament will be played at the Wankhede Stadium from Wednesday.

East Zone, which pulled off a thrilling last ball win over South Zone, will lock horns with Central Zone in a league match.

The result of this match would not disturb the position of West Zone as leader. Both East and Central are not in the race for the title.

Thanks to Rohan Gavaskar's match-winning knock of an unbeaten 79, East began its campaign on a positive note, but suffered a setback, conceding the bonus point to West.
