Overview

  • Rest of India moved to 35/2 early on Day 5, with Ishan Kishan on 8 and Rajat Patidar on 4 after resuming from 30/2.
  • Vidarbha set a target of 361 after being bowled out for 232 on Day 4, with captain Akshay Wadkar’s 36 anchoring vital lower-order stands as Anshul Kamboj took 4/34.
  • The first-innings platform came from Vidarbha’s 342 featuring Atharva Taide’s 143 and Yash Rathod’s 91, before Yash Thakur led the response with 4/66 to dismiss Rest of India for 214.
  • Rain curtailed Day 4 following early strikes from Aditya Thakare and Harsh Dubey, and time lost across the last two days has tightened the final-day equation.
  • Vidarbha need eight wickets for an outright win, while Rest of India require another 326 runs on a surface offering increasing assistance to spin.
