Madhya Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir battle out in the Quarter Final 2 of the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season starting on Friday, 6th February. The match is slated to be played at Holkar Stadium in Indore and the scheduled start time is 9:30 AM IST.
At Indore, Madhya Pradesh’s experience in knockout cricket and their proven ability to manage pressure situations give them a slight edge. Jammu & Kashmir have the tools to threaten, but MP’s depth, balance and title winning pedigree make them marginal favourites heading into this contest.

Madhya Pradesh enter this quarter-final as Elite Group B toppers, finishing unbeaten with 28 points from seven matches. Since lifting their maiden Ranji Trophy title in 2021/22 by defeating Mumbai, MP have evolved into one of the most composed red-ball sides in the country.
This season has followed a similar script, highlighted by commanding wins over Maharashtra and Karnataka and an ability to grind out draws when required. The backbone of that consistency has been Saransh Jain, whose all-round impact continues to define MP’s success.
Since the 2022/23 season, Jain has contributed over 1,000 runs and 75-plus wickets. This year alone, he has scored 440-plus runs at an average above 60 while also leading the bowling support cast.
With the ball, Kumar Kartikeya has been their primary strike option, picking up 32 wickets at an average of around 23 and consistently applying pressure through long spells, making Madhya Pradesh a well-balanced unit.

Jammu & Kashmir finished second in Elite Group D with 24 points, and their campaign deserves more credit than the table suggests. Their only defeat came in a narrow loss to Mumbai, the tournament’s most experienced knockout side. Wins over Hyderabad, Delhi and Rajasthan showcased their ability to dominate sessions.
Abdul Samad and Paras Dogra have been central to their batting, both scoring over 430 runs at averages close to 50. With the ball, Auqib Nabi has spearheaded the attack, picking up 34 wickets at an average of around 14 and giving Jammu & Kashmir genuine bite.

Indore is set to enjoy bright and consistent daytime weather from Friday to Monday. Sunny conditions will dominate throughout, with temperatures ranging between 28°C and 29°C. The steady warmth and clear skies should ensure uninterrupted conditions during the day across all four days.
The pitch at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers. Only once in six innings a team has managed to score past 350 runs this season while batting first, while the scoring rate goes down as the match progresses on day 2, 3 and 4.
Two of the three matches played at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore ended in a draw this season but in all three matches, the team batting first gained the first innings lead.
Gaining a first innings lead gives teams the upperhand in knockout matches especially at venue where draw is inevitable and both teams have drawn a combined of five matches in recent times. So we predict the ideal choice for this match is to bat first.
The odds are in favour of the home team Madhya Pradesh to win this match, but a gritty Jammu side which is determined could give them a real tough side on a track that is even stevens. Jammu's fast bowlers could be off real impact and we predict the underdogs Jammu & Kashmir to pull off a win here.
