Ranji Trophy highlights: J&K complete historic win over Delhi

Outright results

Madhya Pradesh beat Goa by three wickets late on the fourth day. Chasing 328 for victory, Madhya Pradesh resumed the day on 21/1 having lost Yash Dubey the previous evening. A string of sizable partnerships and substantial contributions from the middle-order meant that they made steady progress towards their target. Saransh Jain remained unbeaten on 82 as Madhya Pradesh crossed the line in the 94th over.

Vidarbha clinched a 100-run win after bowling Odisha out for 244 in their second innings. A bold declaration from Vidarbha on the third day meant Odisha started Day 4 on 44/0 and still requiring 301 for victory. The openers put on a 100-run stand but were separated immediately after. Contributions thereafter remained bleak barring Govinda Poddar's 46 with Odisha folding in 84 overs. Parth Rekhade was the standout for Vidarbha with figures of 5-80.

Jammu and Kashmir completed a historic first win over Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. After claiming a substantial 99-run first innings lead, J&K bowled Delhi out for 277 leaving them with a target of 179. Needing 124 to win when they resumed the day on 55/2, Qamran Iqbal led the way with a superb 133 not-out - dwarfing the next best contribution of 10 not-out from skipper Paras Dogra - as J&K claimed an emphatic seven wicket win.
