Team Context & Recent Form

Vidarbha (2-1, 8 pts): Won their last match vs J&K by 5 wickets on Dec 29, chasing 312. Aman Mokhade (139) was Player of the Match, with R. Samarth (114) supporting. While Dhruv Shorey's record 5-century streak ended in this match, the batting depth is exceptional. Captain Harsh Dubey leads a balanced attack.

Key Player Stats

Venue Analysis

Sanosara Cricket Ground A, Rajkot is extremely batting-friendly. Both teams were in 600+ run games on Dec 29. Expect another high-scoring affair, but Vidarbha's balanced bowling should prove decisive.

Final Verdict

Chandigarh can bat—Vohra's 122 proved that—but their bowling cannot defend any total. Vidarbha have multiple century-makers (Shorey, Mokhade, Samarth) and better bowling. Even if Chandigarh post 300+, Vidarbha have proven they can chase.

Vidarbha at 82% confidence is our pick.
