Which Teams have Qualified for Vijay Hazare Trophy Semi Final 2026?

The ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 is coming to an end as we're now moving to the semi-finals of India's very own premier domestic league. The quarterfinal matches were entertaining, and the same is expected when four teams will be clashing in the semi-finals. Vijay Hazare Trophy Semi Final 2026 promised to produce thrilling and entertaining matches. However, fans are wondering which teams have qualified for the Vijay Hazare Trophy Semi Final 2026.

Karnataka, Punjab, Saurashtra and Vidarbha Move to Semi-Finals

Karnataka, a consistent force in List A cricket, continued its impressive streak with another semifinal berth. The defending champions defeated the domestic giants Mumbai to seal their spot in the semifinal. Saurashtra also sailed through with a compelling win over Uttar Pradesh, with skipper Harvik Desai’s unbeaten century anchoring their chase in a rain-affected encounter that went down to the VJD Method.

Interestingly, UP were unbeaten during the group stage. Meanwhile, Punjab produced a commanding display to overwhelm Madhya Pradesh by a massive margin of 183 runs, powering their way into the semifinals with both bat and ball firing. The Punjab cricket team has some of the best batsman in India. Vidarbha also booked their spot, building on back-to-back semifinal appearances. They defeated the Delhi cricket team, who were playing without their captain, Rishabh Pant.

Vijay Hazare Trophy 2026 Semi Final Schedule

The first Vijay Hazare Trophy Semi Final match will see Karnataka taking on Vidarbha at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru on January 15. The second semi-final will be played between Saurashtra and Punjab on January 16 at the same venue. Karnataka are the defending champion, and their batters are in red-hot form. Their opener, Devdutt Padikkal, is the highest run-scorer in the ongoing season, including four centuries, so it's going to be pretty hard for Vidarbha to beat Karnataka.

On the other hand, Punjab are also in very good form. They have been producing all-round performances for a while, which is going to be the biggest concern for Saurashtra. Meanwhile, fans must be wondering if the Vijay Hazare Trophy semi final live streaming is available or not. Both matches will be streamed live on the JioHotstar. The matches will also be telecast live on the Star Sports Network.
