Oh! Some movement straightaway. Length, outside off, shaping away. Harnoor Singh looks to block it but misses.
We are all set for theaction to begin. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. There will be a minute of silence for the passing of former Bengal cricketer, Ajay Varma. Saurashtra players now take their respective fielding positions. Harnoor Singh and Prabhsimran Singh open up for Punjab. Jaydev Unadkat will start with the ball. Lets go...
Pitch Report - This fresh pitch is a true batting paradise, offering a hard, even surface where the ball comes onto the bat perfectly. It is an ideal track for batting, and given these favorable conditions, we can confidently expect a high-scoring game.
Prabhsimran Singh, the skipper of Punjab, says that they would have liked to bowl as well but they are happy to bat now. Adds that they will look to post a good total and put the opponents under pressure. Ends by saying that they are going with the same side.
Harvik Desai, the skipper of Saurashtra, says that they will bowl first. Adds that its a good track and they will like to chase here. Ends by saying that Jaydev Unadkat comes in for Aditya Jadeja.
Saurashtra (Playing XI) - Ruchit Ahir, Chirag Jani, Vishvaraj Jadeja, Sammar Gajjar, Harvik Desai (C)(WK), Parswaraj Rana, Prerak Mankad, Jaydev Unadkat (In for Aditya Jadeja), Ankur Panwar, Chetan Sakariya, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja.
Punjab (Unchanged Playing XI) - Anmolpreet Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Harnoor Singh, Krish Bhagat, Mayank Markande, Naman Dhir, Nehal Wadhera, Prabhsimran Singh (C)(WK), Ramandeep Singh, Sanvir Singh, Sukhdeep Bajwa.
TOSS - Saurashtra have won the toss and will BOWL first.
It is a fascinating battle of contrasting styles. Punjab’s explosive batting force against Saurashtra’s calculated, never-say-die attitude. Will Punjab finally break their semi-final curse to chase a maiden trophy, or will Saurashtra’s experience in big moments carry them to yet another final? We shall find out soon. Toss and team news in a bit...
On the other side, Saurashtra has shown remarkable resilience to get here. Although they may not have the same 'star power' on paper, they know how to win under pressure, proven by their gritty win over Uttar Pradesh in the rain-affected quarterfinal. Led by the consistent Harvik Desai and supported by the wicket-taking abilities of Ankur Panwar, the 2022-23 champions rely on strategy and collective effort to outsmart their opponents.
Punjab enters this contest as the team to beat, boasting incredible momentum and firepower. They stormed through the quarterfinals with a massive 183-run victory over Madhya Pradesh, showcasing the sheer strength of their batting lineup. With inform players like skipper Prabhsimran Singh and Nehal Wadhera scoring heavily, they are eyeing their first-ever Vijay Hazare title and look ready to dominate with their aggressive style of play.
Hello and welcome to a massive day of domestic cricket as Punjab takes on Saurashtra in the second semi-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. With Vidarbha already waiting in the final, today is all about deciding who earns the right to challenge them for the title. The stakes couldn't be higher at this stage, with just one step left before the summit clash.
... MATCH DAY ...
After rain-soaked quarter-finals and dramatic VJD method finishes, the stage is set for a mouth-watering clash between two teams who have charted remarkably different routes to the semis in this edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. On one hand, you have Saurashtra, who chased down ghosts and battled the weather gods to edge past an unbeaten Uttar Pradesh. On the other hand, Punjab arrives with swagger intact after their absolute demolition job on Madhya Pradesh, a 183-run shellacking that announced their intentions louder than a dhol at a Punjabi wedding. Saurashtra's journey to the final four has been a testament to their seasoned domestic pedigree. They finished second in Group D and have relied heavily on the leadership and batting form of Harvik Desai, who anchored the quarter-final with a magnificent unbeaten century. He has found solid support in Prerak Mankad, whose all-round capabilities provide the team with vital balance. On the bowling front, Chetan Sakariya remains the spearhead, fresh from a three-wicket haul that broke the back of the Uttar Pradesh top order. Saurashtra is no stranger to this stage of the competition, having won the title twice in the past, most recently in the 2022/23 season, and finishing as runners-up in 2017/18. Their ability to thrive under pressure makes them a formidable opponent in knockout scenarios. Punjab, on the other hand, is a team playing with a point of view and a point to prove. Despite their historical consistency, Punjab has never actually won the Vijay Hazare Trophy, finishing as runners-up twice, including a heartbreak in the 2014/15 season. This year, they look determined to erase those memories. Led by the aggressive Prabhsimran Singh, who smashed 88 off 86 balls in the quarter-finals, Punjab's batting lineup is a carousel of talent, including Anmolpreet Singh, Nehal Wadhera, and Harnoor Singh. Their recent performance saw them post a mammoth 345, a total that overwhelmed Madhya Pradesh. While their batting grabs the headlines, the bowling unit led by Sanvir Singh and Gurnoor Brar has been clinical, ensuring that big totals are defended with ease. Looking at the head-to-head records, these two sides shared a high-scoring thriller in the previous edition of the tournament, where Punjab emerged victorious by 57 runs. In that encounter, Abhishek Sharma went on a rampage with 170 runs, though he is now absent from the current setup due to national duties. The absence of key stars on both sides has allowed new heroes to emerge. For Punjab, Anmolpreet Singh has been the most consistent run-getter with 427 runs this season, while Saurashtra has benefited from the resurgence of Chirag Jani and the steady accumulation of runs from their middle order. With a spot in the January 18 final against either Karnataka or Vidarbha on the line, the stakes could not be higher. Both teams have the experience of deep runs in the past, let’s see who emerges on top this time.
