Punjab secured a resounding 183-run victory over Madhya Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 quarter-final match held in Bengaluru on January 13, 2026. This dominant performance ensured Punjab's progression to the tournament's semi-finals. Batting first after losing the toss, Punjab set a formidable total of 345 for 6 in their allotted 50 overs. The innings was anchored by a brilliant knock from captain Prabhsimran Singh, who scored 88 runs off 86 balls. He was well-supported by significant contributions from Anmolpreet Singh (70 off 62 balls), Nehal Wadhera (56 off 38 deliveries), and opener Harnoor Singh (51 off 71 balls), laying a strong foundation with a 116-run opening partnership. In response, Madhya Pradesh's chase never gained momentum and they were bowled out for a mere 162 runs in 31.2 overs. Madhya Pradesh captain Venkatesh Iyer had a day to forget, being dismissed for a two-ball duck. Despite a fighting 38 from Rajat Patidar, the team struggled against Punjab's bowling attack. Sanvir Singh led the charge for Punjab's bowlers, picking up three wickets for 31 runs, while Gurnoor Brar, Krish Bhagat, and Ramandeep Singh each contributed with two wickets. This comprehensive win, Punjab's largest ever when batting first in the tournament's history, cemented their place in the next stage of the prestigious domestic tournament.
