The fourth day started with NEZ needing a monumental effort to salvage a draw or stage an improbable chase. However, North Zone's bowlers had different intentions. They struck early and never let the opposition settle, taking wickets at regular intervals.

Palzor and Nilesh Lamichaney tried to provide some resistance, but their dismissals by Ankit Kumar and Nishant Sindhu respectively dealt a significant blow to NEZ's hopes.
