We are in for an interesting contest on the last day of league games in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite 2025-26. Bengal will take on Uttar Pradesh in the 104th match as they fight to reach the next round. Bengal suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Hyderabad in the last game. Uttar Pradesh defeated Vidarbha in the last game and are through to the next round.
Uttar Pradesh has enjoyed an excellent run so far. They have won all six games and troubled their opponents. They have a formidable batting lineup, and the top and middle order are in good form. Bengal will face a big test after their poor show with the ball in the last game. Both teams pack a punch, and we expect the game to go down to the wire.

Abhimanyu Easwaran will be upset with the 107-run loss against Hyderabad in the last game. It was a poor bowling performance in the last game, as the bowling attack allowed the opponents to put up a big total. It is a must-win game for the team to reach the next round, and Easwaran expects a strong fightback from the team as Uttar Pradesh will come hard on them.
Abhimanyu Easwaran must lead from the front and deliver a good start in the game with Sumit Nag. The middle order struggled in the last game, and the team expects Karan Lal, Sudip Kumar Gharami, and Anustup Majumdar to add runs. Shahbaz Ahmed is a good finisher, and the team expects him to add quick runs with Sumanta Gupta.
The bowling attack faces a massive challenge in this game. Mohammed Shami must lead from the front and deliver early breakthroughs with Akash Deep. Mukesh Kumar and Shahbaz Ahmed must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. The side will expect a strong show from Rohit Das and Karan Lal in the supporting roles.

Rinku Singh will be proud of the way his team has played this season. They have won all their games and advanced to the next round. The team delivered a dominant batting performance in the last game against Vidarbha, winning by 54 runs. Singh would look to build on this momentum and finish the league stage with another big win.
Abhishek Goswami hit a hundred in the last game, and he will look to deliver a strong start in the game with Aryan Juyal. The middle order is formidable, and the team expects partnerships between Dhruv Jurel, Priyam Garg, and Rinku Singh. The team expects runs in the lower middle order from Sameer Rizvi and Prashant Veer.
The bowling attack went for runs in the last game, and the team expects a strong start with the new ball from Kartik Tyagi and Prashant Veer.

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.
Bengal has hurt its chances with a massive loss in the last game. They need to win this game by a massive margin to edge past Vidarbha, if the latter also wins its game to reach the next round. The side must play to its strengths in this contest. Uttar Pradesh is through to the next round and has been clinical this season. We expect a close contest, but Uttar Pradesh, with a stronger batting lineup, has an edge.
