Facts:
- Karun Nair has only got dismissed once this tournament, setting a List A world record in the process of scoring the most runs (542) without losing his wicket.
- With a century against Rajasthan in the quarter-final, Karun Nair equalled the record of most hundreds scored in a single season - 5.
Vidarbha vs Maharashtra Chance of Winning
After Gujarat’s exit in the quarter-final, Vidarbha are now the only undefeated team left in the tournament. Karun Nair has led the team from the front, writing his name in the record books while their bowlers have performed well as a unit. With 7 wins in as many games, the team has set the perfect platform to win their first Vijay Hazare Trophy.
2022-23 runners-up Maharashtra will be looking to go one better this time. While they have won 7 games as well, they got complacent after securing top spot and lost to Railways in their final group game. They got back to winning ways against Punjab but facing an in-form Vidarbha is another kettle of fish altogether.
- Vidarbha Chance of Winning - 64%
- Maharashtra Chance of Winning - 36%
Vidarbha vs Maharashtra Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
After staying unbeaten in his first four games, Karun Nair got dismissed against Uttar Pradesh for the first time in the tournament. He picked up where he left off in the quarters, scoring an unbeaten 122. He has scored 5 hundreds in six innings with the only exception an unbeaten 44 when chasing a target of 81 against Chhatisgarh. With the form the Vidarbha captain is in, we’re backing him to go big once again.
Siddhesh Veer got out on a duck against Punjab, losing his wicket to the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, Arshdeep Singh. Prior to that, however, he had scores of 34, 115*, 64, 155, and 57. He has had a great tournament so far and he’ll want to put his poor performance in the quarter-final behind him. We’re backing the 23-year-old to go big against Vidarbha.

Vidarbha to have a better opening partnership than Maharashtra
Maharashtra’s openers have managed to give their team a good start only twice in the tournament, against lowly Meghalaya and Services. They have failed to score in the double digits three times already. Vidarbha, on the other hand, have scored 50+ runs four times in seven games. We’re backing the unbeaten team to have a better start than Maharashtra at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.

Vidarbha vs Maharashtra Top Batters
Karun Nair to be Vidarbha’s top batsman
The tournament’s leading run scorer is the record-breaker Karun Nair, who has lost his wicket just once in six innings. The team’s captain has scored five hundreds in the tournament so far and amassed 664 runs at a strike rate above 120. We can’t pick anyone apart from Nair to be the team’s best batsman for the crucial semi-final match.
Siddhesh Veer to be Maharashtra’s top batsman
Maharashtra’s youngster Siddhesh Veer is the team’s top run-getter this season with 490 runs in eight matches. The 23-year-old has hit two hundreds and as many fifties so far and has an average of 98 in the tournament. With just 10 runs in the match, the opener would become the first batsman from the team to cross the 500-run mark this season.
Vidarbha vs Maharashtra Top Bowlers
Yash Thakur to be Vidarbha’s top bowler
26-year-old Yash Thakur has taken 11 wickets in six games this season The medium pacer was afforded a rest in the final group game and he came back strongly by taking a 4-wicket haul against Rajasthan in the quarter-final. We expect Thakur to lead the team’s bowling attack in Vadodara on the back of his performance in the last game.
Pradeep Dadhe to be Maharashtra’s top bowler
The team’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament is our pick to be the best bowler for Maharashtra in this crucial match. The 30-year-old medium pacer has taken 14 wickets in 8 games and comes in the quarter-final on the back of 5 wickets in his last two games.
