R Limbani to A Mokhade
That will bring the victory for Vidarbha!! They have secured a dominating victory over Baroda. Limbani bowls a low full toss down the leg side. Mokhade swings but misses and Jitesh Sharma tries to take it but misses. It goes to the fence. Wide and a boundary. Aman Mokhade remains unbeaten on 150 and he will remember this knock for a long long time. Hardik Pandya's belligerent knock, his first List A century goes in vain!

VID won by 9 wickets
4:20 PM IST, Local Time: A comprehensive victory for Vidarbha as they made 294 look like a modest target and cruised home by 9 wickets with 50 balls to spare.
Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Baroda staged a remarkable recovery after being reduced to 71/5, riding on a sensational counter-attacking century from Hardik Pandya to post a competitive 293/9. Showing immense self-belief and composure under pressure, Hardik anchored the innings with a breathtaking 133 off 92 balls, turning the game on its head when his team was in deep trouble.
The highlight of his knock came in the 39th over, when he tore into left-arm spinner Parth Rekhade, smashing him for five sixes and a four to completely swing the momentum in Baroda’s favour. While the pitch was good for batting, early movement under chilly conditions exposed Baroda’s top order, as several batters fell to poor shot selection. Vidarbha’s bowlers, led by Yash Thakur’s four-wicket haul and disciplined spells from Praful Hinge and Nachiket Bhute, kept the pressure on, though they were unable to contain the final wicket stand.
A dropped catch by Yash Rathod off Hardik proved costly, allowing the Baroda skipper to make the most of the reprieve.
In reply, Atharva Taide and Aman Mokhade gave Vidarbha a flying start, scoring freely right from the outset. Taide received a couple of lifelines and made the most of them, smashing 65 off 53 balls before eventually falling to Mahesh Pithiya. The pair stitched together a 127-run opening stand in just 15.5 overs, laying a strong foundation for the chase.
Dhruv Shorey then joined Mokhade in the middle, and the duo focused on rotating the strike to keep the scoreboard moving, forcing the Baroda bowlers to work hard for breakthroughs. Their partnership went past 100, and as the innings progressed, they began to step on the accelerator.
Mokhade continued his impressive form, bringing up his century and finishing unbeaten on 150 — his highest List A score — while Shorey remained not out on 65 as Vidarbha crossed the line by 9 wickets with 50 balls to spare.

That marks the end of our coverage from the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025/26 encounter between Baroda and Vidarbha.
