CAG vs JKR Match Prediction & Analysis
Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite 2025-26 pits Chandigarh against Jammu & Kashmir at Rajkot. Both teams are navigating an important phase of the round-robin Group B stage where early wins can build momentum for knockout qualification. Chandigarh’s recent List A history vs J&K has been positive — in the 2024/25 Vijay Hazare season they chased down a challenging 285/8 with 291/3, thanks to a brilliant century from Tushar Joshi and a ton from Manan Vohra, leading to a 7-wicket win for the North Indian side.
Jammu & Kashmir, however, have been competitive of late across formats, notably winning a recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 Elite match vs Chandigarh by 29 runs where Yawer Hassan’s 57 proved decisive, showing their white-ball capabilities. Entering this 50-over contest, both sides will be keen to assert dominance; Chandigarh look to reaffirm their past success and build net run-rate advantage, while J&K will aim to exploit confidence from recent limited-overs success to notch a rare Vijay Hazare win over their rivals.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Chandigarh Preview
Chandigarh arrive at this fixture with a blend of powerful batting and capable bowling in List A cricket. Their most recent Vijay Hazare Trophy meeting against Jammu & Kashmir in the 2024/25 season showcased their batting depth — Manan Vohra and Tushar Joshi both scored centuries in a 291/3 chase of 285, with Chandigarh winning by 7 wickets. This sort of performance underlines their ability to bat deep and pace a chase effectively. In the current domestic season, their squad has also competed in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where they suffered a tight T20 loss to J&K by 29 runs but showed fight in the batting order with contributions from Arjun Azad and Gaurav Puri.
For this Vijay Hazare match, expect Chandigarh to lean on experienced top order with Vohra and Azad providing starts, backed by middle-order stability from Lather and strong contributions from spin and pace bowlers alike. Discipline in bowling — particularly in the middle overs — and building partnerships will be crucial to defend totals or chase effectively.
Key players: Manan Vohra, Arjun Azad, Bhagmender Lather, Gaurav Puri, Nikhil Sharma
Chandigarh Predicted Playing XI:
Manan Vohra, Arjun Azad (c), Nikhil Thakur (wk), Nehal Pajni, Bhagmender Lather, Gaurav Puri, Nikhil Sharma, Chiragvir Dhindsa, Rahul Singh, Jagjit Singh Sandhu, Sandeep Sharma
Chandigarh Actual Playing XI:
Manan Vohra, Sandeep Sharma, Arjun Azad, Arslan Khan, Rohit Dhanda, Jagjit Singh, Vishu Kashyap, Ankit Kaushik, Taranpreet Singh, Tushar Joshi, Nishunk Birla
Jammu and Kashmir Preview
Jammu & Kashmir have shown progress in limited-overs cricket, especially in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where they secured a 29-run win over Chandigarh propelled by a match-winning 57 from Yawer Hassan and useful contributions from Shubham Khajuria. Their batting has potential firepower, with players like Khajuria capable of anchoring innings and scoring briskly. In past List A meetings with Chandigarh, they were competitive but came up short — most recently in 2024/25 as they posted 285 before being chased down by a big partnership from the opposition.
Bowling options including Auqib Nabi, Abid Mushtaq and Murugan Ashwin have provided breakthroughs in white-ball contests, and if they can strike early and keep runs in check, J&K can build pressure effectively. With a balanced batting lineup and bowling attack that can leverage conditions in Rajkot, they will aim to convert momentum from shorter formats into success in this 50-over game. Discipline in powerplays, batting partnerships in the middle overs, and tactical use of bowlers will be key for J&K to upset Chandigarh.
Key players: Shubham Khajuria, Yawer Hassan, Abid Mushtaq, Auqib Nabi, Murugan Ashwin
Jammu and Kashmir Predicted Playing XI:
Qamran Iqbal, Shubham Khajuria (c), Kanhaiya Wadhawan (wk), Yawer Hassan, Abdul Samad, Auqib Nabi Dar, Abid Mushtaq, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Murugan Ashwin, Umran Malik, Lone Nasir Muzaffar

Abdul Samad, Paras Dogra, Shubham Khajuria, Qamran Iqbal, Abid Mushtaq, Murugan Ashwin, Auqib Nabi, Yudhvir Singh, Lone Nasir Muzaffar, Yawer Hassan Khan, Rydham Sharma
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Rajkot in late December typically experiences dry, sunny conditions with minimal chances of rain, making it conducive for a full 50-over match. Temperatures are likely to be comfortable with clear skies, allowing both batsmen and bowlers to operate effectively. Warm, dry conditions should persist throughout the day, meaning full match proceedings are expected without weather interruptions.
CAG vs JKR Pitch Report
The Sanosara Cricket Ground B / Rajkot region generally offers a fair ODI surface — early seamers might receive slight assistance, but the pitch usually evens out, offering batters consistent bounce for stroke play. Teams batting first have often posted competitive totals in the 240–280 range, with disciplined bowling and fielding essential to defend scores. Ground dimensions and a quick outfield further support boundary scoring, so both teams will look to capitalize on batting conditions if winning the toss.
Toss: To Bat
At Rajkot, pitches in Vijay Hazare matches often offer early seam assistance followed by true bounce for batters as the day progresses. Winning the toss might tempt captains to bat first and set a formidable total, especially with a dry forecast and minimal dew expected.
CAG vs JKR
Winning Prediction
This clash is likely to be closely contested, given the mixed head-to-head and recent form in white-ball cricket. Chandigarh hold a slight advantage historically in Vijay Hazare Trophy List A encounters — particularly their convincing chase in the 2024/25 season — and possess experienced batters capable of pacing a 50-over innings effectively. Their recent powerplay resilience and depth in batting gives them an edge if they bat first and post a competitive total.
Jammu & Kashmir have momentum from their T20 success against Chandigarh and boast match-winners like Khajuria and Hassan who can tilt games with impactful innings. If J&K’s bowlers strike early and their batsmen build partnerships, they could upset the balance. On balance, Chandigarh are expected to have the slight edge, with a predicted win margin of around 20–35 runs (if setting a target) or 3–5 wickets (if chasing), though J&K’s recent white-ball confidence makes them dangerous opponents.
Chandigarh will win the match.
