Ranji Trophy: Vidarbha Enter Final After Beating Mumbai, To Meet First-timers Kerala

By IANS News February 21, 2025 • 19:48 PM View: 745

After Tanush Kotian: Left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey picked a five-wicket haul as Vidarbha entered their second consecutive Ranji Trophy final after beating defending champions Mumbai by 80 runs in Nagpur.

Vidarbha, who were the Ranji Trophy runners-up last year, will host Kerala in the title clash happening from February 26 in Nagpur. In the morning, Kerala reached their first-ever Ranji Trophy final by the slimmest of margins against Gujarat in Ahmedabad.

Gujarat needed three runs to achieve the all-important first innings lead, but Arzan Nagwaswalla went for a lofted drive and was caught by Sachin Baby at first slip after the ball ricocheted off Salman Nizar's head at short leg.
