Karnataka Cricket team vs Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Team Live Streaming: The historic Ranji Trophy 2025-26 final reaches a critical juncture today, Friday, 27 February, as Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) look to close in on their maiden title. After three days of intense red-ball action at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground, the visitors have firmly established control, leaving eight-time champions Karnataka with a monumental task to avoid a first-innings deficit.

At the start of Day 4, Karnataka find themselves at 220/5, still trailing J&K’s massive first-innings total of 584 by 364 runs. With the "First-Innings Lead" rule likely to decide the champion in the event of a draw, today’s morning session will be pivotal for both sides.

The headline of Day 3 was the contrasting fortunes of two veteran openers. While J&K’s Shubham Pundir (121) and Yawer Hassan (88) set the platform for a giant total, Karnataka’s star-studded top order crumbled under the pressure of Auqib Nabi’s fiery opening spell.

Nabi (3/32) dismantled the hosts by removing KL Rahul, Karun Nair, and Smaran Ravichandran in quick succession. However, Mayank Agarwal remained unmoved, finishing the day unbeaten on 130. Karnataka’s survival now depends on Agarwal’s ability to shepherd the lower order past the follow-on mark and towards J&K’s daunting 584. J&K Captain Paras Dogra Headbutts Karnataka's KV Aneesh During KAR vs J&K Ranji Trophy 2025-26 Final (Watch Video).

Auqib Nabi Impresses Once Again

The surface at Hubballi has shown signs of wear, with J&K’s spinners Abid Mushtaq and Abdul Samad finding occasional turn late on Day 3. While the pitch remains relatively good for batting, the footmarks created by Prasidh Krishna (who took 5/98 for Karnataka) are expected to play a larger role as the match enters its final 180 overs. Clear skies are forecast for today, ensuring a full day's play without the light interruptions seen earlier in the week.
