Goodbye from Semi-Final 2! Switching tabs to the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and Karnataka has essentially slammed the door shut against Uttarakhand. Karnataka have batted Uttarakhand out of the game but they are showing some fight. You can switch the tabs and join us there. Cheers from here.
The 41-year-old legend! Paras Dogra, the skipper of Jammu and Kashmir says that the target was a small one and they needed a gritty stand at the top. Adds that they lost three wickets but Abdul Samad is a good batter and he got good runs. Adds that the lead was very slender in the first innings and they were not that panicked. Ends by saying that he loves this game and this journey has been great and they are happy to play in the finals.
Auqib Nabi's heroics! Auqib Nabi wins the Player of the Match award. A five-wicket haul in the first innings, followed by a crucial 42 runs with the bat. However, the figures of 10-2-36-4 in the second innings, which ultimately pushed Bengal on the back foot earns him the award. He says that he is happy to play in the finals and that their hard work has paid off. Adds that they were positive coming into the game and they did well throughout the game. Says that he keeps it simple and doesn't think much about getting the results. Ends by saying that he is working on his batting as well and they will give their best and try to win the finals as well.
The skipper of Bengal - Abhimanyu Easwaran says that they did well in the first innings but they didn't bat well in the second innings. Adds that there are a lot of positives, as Sudip Gharami batted well and Mohammad Shami bowled brilliantly but they fell short in the second innings. Adds that they will focus on the positives and work for the next season. He ends by saying that he is proud of his boys.
...Presentation...
J&K made history! Chasing 126 for a historic spot in their first-ever Ranji Trophy final, J&K had a nervy start, losing two quick wickets to the Bengal pacers at the end of Day 3, but with the game firmly in control, Jammu and Kashmir needed one good stand to cross the line. Vanshaj Sharma, along with Abdul Samad, added 55 runs, and it turned out to be the match-winning partnership. Credit to the Bengal bowlers, who got just about a session's rest between their innings and had to defend such a low total. Mohammad Shami and Akash Deep started with 23 dots on the trot, but J&K had the edge in the final innings.
Bengal’s collapse! With a slender 26-run lead, Bengal stepped out to bat in their second innings, but what followed was an absolute disaster. The J&K pace attack, led once again by the fiery Auqib Nabi, made the new ball talk and completely rattled the top order. Wickets fell like ninepins as the batters failed to apply themselves against the swinging delivery. Shahbaz Ahmed managed a gritty 24, but a string of poor shots meant Bengal was bundled out for a paltry 99, setting a very modest target for the visitors.
Shami’s sensational spell! In reply, J&K found themselves in early trouble before Abdul Samad and skipper Paras Dogra launched a brilliant counter-attack with a 147-run stand. Samad smashed a quickfire 82, and some late fireworks from the tail pushed them to 302, just 26 runs short of Bengal's total. But the real story of the innings was Mohammed Shami! The veteran pacer breathed absolute fire with the red cherry, running through the J&K batting lineup to finish with his career-best First-Class figures of 8 for 90.
Bengal started strong - Bengal was put in to bat and posted a solid 328 in their first innings, riding on the back of a majestic 146 from Sudip Gharami. After losing an early wicket, Gharami anchored the innings beautifully, sharing crucial partnerships with Abhimanyu Easwaran and Shahbaz Ahmed. Sumanta Gupta also chipped in with some quick runs down the order. For Jammu and Kashmir, Auqib Nabi was the pick of the bowlers, hitting the deck hard to claim a brilliant five-wicket haul and keep the Bengal batters in check.
The Himalayan ascent! The weight of six decades evaporates into the Bengal sky. Look at what it means! Former India international Ajay Sharma, the head coach of Jammu & Kashmir, is being carried on the shoulders of the J&K players. Sixty-seven years of waiting. Decades of being the underdog. Today, Jammu & Kashmir didn't just win a cricket match, they scaled their ultimate summit. For the first time in their history, J&K have marched into the Ranji Trophy Final.

All set for probably the final day of this classic Semi-Final. Shubham Pundir and Vanshaj Sharma to resume their batting. Akash Deep (6-1-12-2) to bowl first. Pundir is on strike. Two slips in place. Let's play...
History is on the line - There is a massive prize waiting at the finish line today. If the J&K batters can keep their calm and chase down this total, they will make history by reaching their first-ever Ranji Trophy final. However, you can expect Bengal's fast bowlers to come out throwing sheer fire to stop them. Grab your seats, because we are in for a fantastic morning of cricket!
The equation? The math is simple, but the tension is high. Jammu and Kashmir will resume their innings at 43/2, needing just 83 more runs to win the match. Shubham Pundir and Vanshaj Sharma are currently at the crease and will look to steady the ship. Meanwhile, Bengal needs 8 wickets to pull off a miraculous comeback and defend their small target of 126 runs.
Welcome to a thrilling Day 4! Good morning and welcome back to the fourth day of this gripping Ranji Trophy clash between Jammu and Kashmir and Bengal. Yesterday was a rollercoaster of a day packed with falling wickets and high drama, perfectly setting the stage for a nail-biting finish this morning.
...Day 4, Session 1...
See you tomorrow! Day 3 has ended at stumps with Jammu and Kashmir firmly in control of the run chase, needing just 83 more runs to win the match. The batters will return to the crease for the decisive Day 4 action on Wednesday, February 18th at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT), aiming to hit the winning runs and secure a historic victory. For now, it's goodbye. Cheers!
Just 126 runs to win for J&K! Jammu and Kashmir's bowlers delivered a strong performance to bowl out Bengal for just 99 runs, setting J&K a winning target of 126. Bengal fought back early in the chase by taking two quick wickets, but J&K batters steadied the innings to finish the day at 43 for 2. Going into the next day, Jammu and Kashmir just needs 83 more runs to win the match and make history by reaching their first-ever Ranji Trophy final.
Bengal struggled with the bat - Shahbaz Ahmed and Suraj Jaiswal tried to steady the innings and stop the collapse, pushing the score to 54. However, the J&K bowlers gave them no room to breathe. Yudhvir dismissed Shahbaz, and Nabi returned to the attack to find Jaiswal's outside edge, catching him in the slips. Bengal ended a disastrous second session reeling at 77/6, and while they had an overall lead of 103 runs, J&K were firmly in the driver's seat.
J&K bowlers were on top - The momentum completely flipped in the second session as J&K's pace attack tore through the Bengal batting order. Determined to erase the first-innings deficit, Auqib Nabi led the charge by trapping Sudip Chatterjee and Abhimanyu Easwaran LBW. Sunil Kumar and Yudhvir Singh also bowled tight lines and picked up crucial wickets, leaving Bengal's top order devastated at 19/4.
Shami's eight-wicket haul! Jammu and Kashmir on top at the moment but what a spell it was from Mohammed Shami. He delivered a spectacular performance, claiming the figures of 8/90. After Jammu & Kashmir lost early wickets, Abdul Samad and captain Paras Dogra fought back with a solid 140-run partnership. However, Shami returned with the new ball on day three breathing fire. He cleaned up the tail, bowling J&K out for 302 and giving Bengal a narrow 26-run lead.
