The fourth round of Vijay Hazare Trophy comes to an end. Big wins for Mumbai, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. Not to forget, Odisha stunned Delhi, who were without Virat Kohli for the second game running. 

That's it from us for today. We'll be back with the fifth and sixth round of coverage of the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2026. We would like to wish our readers a Happy New Year!

UP awarded a 58-run win (VJD method) after rain interrupted their chase against Assam in Rajkot. Aryan Juyal finished unbeaten on 150 off 140 balls and captain Rinku Singh 37 not out off just 15 balls.

Odisha are just three wickets away from claiming a famous win over 2012-13 Vijay Hazare Trophy champions, Delhi. Hritik Shokeen departs after a gutsy 24-ball 32. A three-wicket haul for Sambit Baral

DEL: 120/7 (24.4)

Rajvardhan Hangargekar bags his third wicket and Maharashtra are strengthening their grip on the match. Uttarakhand down to 122/7 in pursuit of 332.

Mumbai fall just short of 450! They've set a target of 444 for Goa, thanks largely to Sarfaraz Khan's 75-ball 157. All eyes now on the Mumbai bowlers.

Hardik Tamore departs on the first ball of the final over. He makes a strong impact, smashing 53 off just 28 balls. Onus on Tanush Kotian as Mumbai eye 450 plus
