Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group: Delhi suffered a crushing 79-run defeat at the hands of Odisha in their 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group D game at the Alur Cricket Ground on Wednesday, while Saurashtra, Railways, and Haryana also registered huge wins in their matches in the same group.

For Odisha, pacer Debabrata Pradhan claimed 3-28, while fellow seamer Sambit Baral also grabbed three wickets for 34.
