Jammu and Kashmir achieved a remarkable comeback victory against Hyderabad in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, thanks to a stellar unbeaten century from Auqib Nabi. The match, held at Niranjan Shah Stadium, saw Jammu and Kashmir in dire straits at 90 for 7 while chasing Hyderabad's total. Nabi's composed and aggressive innings turned the tide.
Nabi, who finished on 114 not out from 82 deliveries, found a vital partner in Vanshaj Sharma, who contributed a steady 69 not out. Together, they orchestrated an unbroken 182-run stand for the eighth wicket. This extraordinary partnership propelled Jammu and Kashmir to a memorable three-wicket win with 13 balls remaining.
Hyderabad had earlier posted a competitive score, boosted by contributions from Rahul Singh Gahlaut (56), Aman Rao (60), and K. Nitesh Reddy (54 not out). However, despite their strong batting effort and early bowling dominance, Hyderabad could not contain Nabi's brilliance and ultimately succumbed to one of the tournament's most dramatic comebacks.
