Time for a drinks break! It has been a good start with the ball for Vidarbha as they have got both the openers dismissed with not much on the scorecard. At 54 for 2 after 13 overs, the onus is not on Karun Nair and Dhruv Prabhakar to stitch a good partnership and anchor the innings. The wicket of Karun Nair will be key for Vidarbha because of the experience he brings to the table.

We are all set for the action to begin. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Mayank Agarwal and Devdutt Padikkal walk in with their blades for Karnataka. Yash Thakur has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...
Pitch Report - The pitch is the same one that is used. There are a lot of ball marks in the middle as this pitch is used a lot but the good thing is that it is hard. The pacers will get extra bounce as well here.
Harsh Dubey, the skipper of Vidarbha, says that he also wanted to bat first but remains comfortable bowling, expecting early moisture on the wicket to assist his side. He says that the team has a strong unity and selflessness as their standout quality. He ends by saying that Darshan Nalkande replaces Praful Hinge for this game.
Mayank Agarwal, the skipper of Karnataka, says that they will bat first. Adds that its a good wicket and they will look to score big. He announces a change to the playing XI, with Dhruv Prabhakar replacing the injured Smaran, while praising the top order's form, particularly Devdutt Padikkal's hunger for runs. Ends by saying that the team will focus on staying in the present to deliver their best performance.
Karnataka (Playing XI) - Mayank Agarwal (C), Devdutt Padikkal, Karun Nair, Dhruv Prabhakar (In for Smaran), Krishnan Shrijith (WK), Shreyas Gopal, Abhinav Manohar, Abhilash Shetty, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Vidyadhar Patil, Vidwath Kaverappa.
Vidarbha (Playing XI) - Harsh Dubey (C), Yash Thakur, Atharva Taide, Nachiket Bhute, Yash Rathod, Dhruv Shorey, Aman Mokhade, Rohit Binkar (WK), Ravikumar Samarth, Darshan Nalkande (In for Praful Hinge), Yash Kadam.
TOSS - Karnataka have won the toss and will BAT first.
The stage is set for an intense battle featuring the top two run-getters of the season: Padikkal and Vidarbha’s Aman Mokhade. With memories of last year’s 36-run defeat still lingering for Vidarbha, and Karnataka playing on home turf, the stakes couldn't be higher. Sit back and enjoy as two of domestic cricket's best sides fight for a spot in the final! Toss and team news to follow shortly...
Standing in their way is a formidable Karnataka side, fresh off a comfortable win against Mumbai. The defending champions have been consistent throughout the tournament, topping Group A with six wins. All eyes will be on the tournament's leading run-scorer, Devdutt Padikkal, who remains in red-hot form alongside experienced campaigners like Karun Nair and captain Mayank Agarwal.
Vidarbha arrives with high confidence following a commanding quarterfinal victory over Delhi. Powered by Yash Rathod’s impressive 86 and a disciplined bowling attack led by Nachiket Bhute and skipper Harsh Dubey, they have proven they can post big totals and defend them effectively. After winning five of their seven group stage matches, they are determined to go one step further than last year.
Welcome to a blockbuster semifinal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26! Today, defending champions Karnataka host last year’s runners-up, Vidarbha, in Bengaluru. This match serves as a thrilling rematch of last season's final, offering Vidarbha a perfect opportunity for redemption while Karnataka looks to keep their title defense on track.
... MATCH DAY ...
The stage is set at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for a high-stakes encounter as defending champions Karnataka take on last year's runners-up Vidarbha in the first semi-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025/26. This match is a direct rematch of the previous season's final, adding a layer of revenge to an already intense knockout battle. Karnataka entered the knockouts as the team to beat, finishing at the top of Elite Group A. They secured their semi-final berth by defeating heavyweights Mumbai in a rain-curtailed quarter-final. Chasing 255, Karnataka was comfortably placed at 187/1 in 33 overs when play was called off, winning by 55 runs via the VJD method. Their campaign has been defined by a clinical top order and a disciplined bowling attack that rarely allows games to slip away. Vidarbha’s journey has been a testament to their grit. After a do-or-die final league game to qualify, they outclassed Delhi by 76 runs in their quarter-final. Posting a formidable 300/9, they defended it with ease, proving that their run to the final last year was no fluke. They are playing a brand of fearless cricket, led by a balanced mix of veteran stability and youthful exuberance. Devdutt Padikkal is in the form of his life, becoming the first player in history to cross 700 runs in two different Vijay Hazare seasons. He currently averages over 100 in the tournament. To stop him, Vidarbha will rely on Nachiket Bhute, who tore through Delhi’s top order. If Bhute can find early movement in the Bengaluru air, it could be the defining contest of the match. Karnataka starts as the slight favorite due to their big match temperament and Padikkal’s record-breaking run. However, Vidarbha has developed a habit of upsetting the giants, so it should be a very fascinating encounter. Who do you think will clinch the win and storm into the Final?
