We expect a cracker of a content as the battles resume in the Ranji Trophy Elite 2025-26. Andhra will look to move into the top spot on the points table as they take on Vidarbha in the 85th game. Andhra defeated Jharkhand by a massive margin in the last game and shall feel confident. Vidarbha also won their last game against Baroda and shall look to continue with the momentum.
The two teams are evenly matched. Both have played five games and won three times each. Vidarbha has done well with the bat, but they will need the bowling attack to deliver a strong performance in this game. Andhra plays at home, and the team has a good record at this venue. With both teams looking strong, we expect a tight contest in this game.

Ricky Bhui and his team have been one of the strongest performers this season. They ended the last leg with a massive innings-and-81-run win against Jharkhand. The team has a strong batting lineup and a strong spin attack. Bhui will look to use his resources well in this game and move up on the points table with a win.
Abhishek Reddy scored 247 runs in the last game, and he will look to deliver a strong start in the game with Srikar Bharat. Shaik Rasheed has done well in the middle order, and he must build partnerships with Ricky Bhui and Tripurana Vijay. Kirdant Karan Shinde and Saurabh Kumar have done well in the lower middle order, strengthening the batting.
The team bowled well against Jharkhand. Kavuri Saiteja and Satyanarayana Raju will look to strike early as Vidarbha has a strong batting lineup.

Akshay Wadkar and his men would be confident heading into this game. They put themselves at the top of the points table towards the end of the last leg, defeating Baroda by 144 runs. The team will also draw inspiration from their title win in the recent Vijay Hazare Trophy and will look to secure another win to start this leg of their campaign.
Aman Mokhade and Atharva Taide have done well in recent games, and the pair must deliver a solid start. They have a strong middle order and expect partnerships between Parth Rekhade, Dhruv Shorey, and Ravikumar Samarth. Yash Rathod and Akshay Wadkar add depth to this lineup, making it strong.
The bowling attack has won games for the team this season. Nachiket Bhute has done well with the new ball, and he will look to trouble the batters alongside Darshan Nalkande. Ganesh Bhosle and Parth Rekhade will look to make the most of the conditions and do well in the middle overs. The team expects Praful Hinge and Atharva Taide to do well in the supporting roles.

We expect clear skies over Vizianagaram. The track will be slow, making it difficult for batsmen as the game progresses. Bowlers will love the conditions, as they create uncertainty for batters. The average first-innings score is 273, and the team batting first would like to reach 400.
Dr PVG Raju ACA Sports Complex is a small ground. The wicket breaks up fast here and becomes a minefield where the spinners start dominating. Batsmen have to play a patient game at this venue to do well.
It is a wicket that deteriorates fast as the game progresses. The wicket will be tough to bat on in the fourth innings, where the ball will turn sharply. The team winning the toss would look to bat first and post a big total.
Vidarbha has played well this season, but the team will face its toughest test in this game. They lack a strong spin attack, and it may be a big problem for them in this contest. Andhra has a strong batting lineup, and the players know the conditions well at this venue. It will be a close game, but Andhra has an edge.
