Vidarbha Beat Karnataka by 16 Runs in Vinoo Mankad Quarter-Final

Vidarbha’s 260/7 proved enough in the completed Elite quarter-final. Karnataka were bowled out for 244 in 48.4 overs, giving Vidarbha a 16-run victory and a confirmed place in the last four. The final scores and result are recorded in the BCCI match statistics.

The result answers the central scorecard question directly: Vidarbha won, rather than Karnataka completing the chase. It also keeps the verified margin clear without adding unsupported partnership or individual figures.

Karnataka won the toss and elected to field at Neena Vinod Agarwal Sports Academy in Indore. Vidarbha then used its full 50 overs to post 260/7 before restricting Karnataka to 244. The match was played on Friday, 23 October 2026, as a Vinoo Mankad Trophy Elite quarter-final.

Those details come from the completed BCCI match centre and its match-details page, which records the toss, venue and result. The quarter-final win moves Vidarbha forward in the Elite knockout competition.

BCCI lists Vidarbha’s Kush Sharma as Player of the Match. The official match-details entry records 55 runs from 61 balls and two wickets. Those are the confirmed figures used here; no additional batting or bowling numbers are added.

Sharma’s award gives the result a clear individual highlight, while the scoreline remains a team achievement: Vidarbha made 260/7 and then dismissed Karnataka for 244. BCCI’s match-details record is the source for the award and contribution.

Vidarbha’s quarter-final win confirms its progress to the semi-finals, but the opponent was not named in the official fixture information checked on 23 October 2026 at 10:48 PM IST. BCCI’s 25 October Elite listings still showed opposing teams as TBC.

The schedule included a Tamil Nadu Under-19s versus TBC semi-final and a Punjab Under-19s versus TBC semi-final in Indore. Readers can follow Tamil Nadu’s quarter-final victory and Punjab’s progression to the semifinals for broader knockout context, but those listings do not establish Vidarbha’s pairing. Any opponent update should come from a later official BCCI confirmation rather than a bracket assumption.

For readers placing the match in domestic cricket, Vedik Exchange’s Domestic Cricket ID guide provides general information about board-run competitions and age-group formats. That informational guide is separate from the official BCCI scorecard and does not imply that an account is required to follow or participate in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy.

For this match, the confirmed facts are straightforward: Vidarbha beat Karnataka by 16 runs, Kush Sharma received the Player-of-the-Match award, and the next opponent remained TBC at the time of checking.
