Our view
Goa managed to put 146/6 on the board, but they couldn't quite build the momentum needed for a bigger total. Suyash Prabhudessai and Deepraj Gaonkar added 38 runs, while Deepraj's 39 off 37 balls helped keep the innings moving. The middle overs saw Goa lose a few important wickets, including Lalit Yadav, who was dismissed for 18. Darshan Nalkande's 16-run final over gave Goa a useful late push, but Vidarbha had a chaseable target in front of them.
Vidarbha's reply was all about the 104-run partnership between Atharva Taide and Ravikumar Samarth. Both batters brought up their fifties in quick succession and took the score from 14/1 to 118/2, putting the chase firmly under control. Goa did manage to pick up two wickets in the 15th over, but by then the damage was already done. Yash Kadam and the remaining batter kept things simple, and Kadam finished the match with a four in the 18th over. Vidarbha reached 150/3 in just 17.3 overs to seal a comfortable seven-wicket win.
