Ranji Trophy: Vidarbha beats Jammu & Kashmir in a low-scoring thriller

Vidarbha secured a narrow three-wicket victory over Jammu and Kashmir in a low-scoring Ranji Trophy encounter. Despite a precarious start that saw them lose six wickets for only 26 runs while chasing a target of 79, a resilient partnership between Harsh Dubey and Mandar Mahale stabilized the innings.

Although Sunil Kumar dismissed Mahale late in the chase, Dubey and Nachiket Bhute successfully guided the team to the finish line.

Earlier in the match, Jammu and Kashmir struggled to build a significant total after resuming at 7 for four. Nachiket Bhute spearheaded the bowling effort with a five-wicket haul, limiting the opposition to 123 runs.

Abdul Samad provided a brief spark with 39 runs, while Umar Nazir contributed 16, but the resulting lead proved insufficient to overcome the defending champions.
