Vidarbha won by innings and 11 runs

Saurashtra versus Karnataka at Bengaluru - Stumps Day 3
Karnataka lead by 276 runs with 2 wickets intact. Saurashtra will find it tough to chase it even with Chet in their line up.

Saurashtra are 151/3. Need 129 to win.

Chet 73*
Sheldon Jackson 56*

Finals between Saurashtra and Vidarbha at Nagpur. Vidarbha have the home advantage.

An unlikely second highest score in the Saurashtra innings from captain Jaydev Undakat brought the away side to near parity going into the second innings of the final.

Vidarbha are the winners of Ranji trophy 2018 - 2019. They won last eyar as well. Well done to the team and coach Chandrakant Pandit and the support staff as well.
Faiz Fazal has two back to back Ranji Trophy wins as captain. As per the traditional way, they will play the Rest of India (ROI) team in irani Cup. They won the Irani Cup last year as well against ROI iirc.

Vidarbha First Innings - 312/10 (120.2 overs)
Akshay Karnewar - 73

Saurashtra First Innings - 307/10 (117 overs)
Snell Patel - 102, Aditya Sarwate 5/40, Akshay Wakhare 4/80.

Vidarbha Second Innings - 200/10 (92.5 overs)
Dharmendrasingh Jadeja - 6/96

Saurashtra Second Innings - 127/10

Aditya Sarwate with eleven wickets is something of a hero - contributed with the bat too.
