We are in the last round of league games in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite 2025-26. The 101st game will have Assam take on Vidarbha. Assam is out of contention for the next round after their loss to Chandigarh in the last game and will play for pride. Vidarbha went down against Uttar Pradesh and shall look to book a berth in the next round with a win.
Vidarbha has done well this season with four wins in six games. The batting lineup is in good form, and the openers have made runs. It will make the team confident against a weak opponent. Assam's current form doesn't inspire confidence with five losses in six games, and it will be interesting to see if the team can punch above its weight in this game.

Sumit Ghadigaonkar and his team are out of contention for the next round. It has been a poor season for the team, with only one win. The side went down by 7 wickets in the last game against Chandigarh, with the bowling attack not exploiting the conditions. As they take the field for the last time, Ghadigaonkar would like a strong show from his players to finish on a high.
Saurav Dihingia and Pradyun Saikia must deliver a quick start as they have struggled against the new ball. The middle order looked good in the last game, and the team needs partnerships between Sumit Ghadigaonkar, Sibsankar Roy, and Denish Das. Swarupam Purkayastha and Abdul Ajij Kuraishi must add runs in the lower middle order and take the team to a big total.
The bowling attack had a poor outing in the last game. The new-ball attack looked toothless, and the team expects Mukhtar Hussain and Akash Sengupta to make the most of the conditions and strike early. Rahul Singh and Abdul Ajij Kuraishi must bowl better lines in the middle overs. The side will also need a strong showing from the supporting roles of Avinov Choudhury and Swarupam Purkayastha.

After a series of wins, Harsh Dubey's team suffered a 54-run loss against Uttar Pradesh in the last game. It was a poor bowling performance that allowed their opponents to put up a big total on the board. They are second on the points table in the group and shall look to win this game and book a berth in the next round.
Aman Mokhade played a classy knock in the last game, and he will look to set up a big opening wicket stand with Atharva Taide. The middle order collapse cost the team dearly in the last game, and they need better performances from Dhruv Shorey, Yash Rathod, and Ravikumar Samarth. Akshay Wadkar is a good finisher, and he will look to add quick runs alongside Harsh Dubey.
The bowling attack will look to put the upset in the last game behind them. Praful Hinge and Nachiket Bhute will look to exploit Assam's weakness against the new ball. Yash Thakur and Parth Rekhade must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Dubey is in good form and must deliver the goods in the supporting role.

Rajkot will have clear skies, and we expect a warm afternoon. The wicket is flat, and the ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing batters to play their strokes. Spinners have done well on this track. The average first-innings score has been more than 300, and the team batting first will need more than 330 runs to feel safe.
Sanosara Cricket Ground is a large ground. The flat wicket and the fast outfield allow the batters to free their arms and score quickly. There is assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game. Spinners do well at this venue when the ball gets old and starts gripping the surface.
It has been an excellent surface to bat on at Rajkot. The wicket got a bit slower in the second half, where the spinners did well. In six games, the team batting first has won four times. The team winning the toss would not hesitate to bat first on this track.
Assam has struggled with the bat and the ball this season. The team will be low on confidence after losing five of six games. They need the bowling attack to do well as Vidarbha has a strong batting unit. Vidarbha has ticked all the boxes this season apart from their loss in the last game. Going by the team strengths and the current form, Vidarbha has an edge.
