Karnataka vs Jammu and Kashmir Live Streaming and Free Telecast, Ranji Trophy 2025-26 Final
Eight-time champions Karnataka are set to host a historic Jammu and Kashmir side at the KSCA Hubballi Stadium, as the 91st edition of India’s premier first-class tournament reaches its climax.
Karnataka Cricket Team vs Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Team Live Streaming and Telecast: The 2025-26 Ranji Trophy reaches its conclusion this week as Karnataka take on Jammu and Kashmir in the final, starting Tuesday, 24 February. The five-day summit clash, hosted at the D.R. Bendre Cricket Stadium in Hubballi, represents a classic "David vs Goliath" narrative: a seasoned powerhouse seeking its ninth title against an emerging side making its first-ever appearance in a Ranji Trophy final.
The decision to host the marquee fixture in Hubballi rather than Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium aligns with the Karnataka State Cricket Association’s (KSCA) recent initiative to decentralise top-level cricket and bring major matches to regional centres across the state. Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Team Qualifies for Historic First-Ever Ranji Trophy Final With Win Over Bengal in Semis.

Pitch and Conditions
Early reports from Hubballi suggest a balanced surface. While the pitch typically offers some assistance to seamers during the morning sessions, it is expected to flatten out into a batting-friendly track before potentially offering assistance to spinners later in the match. Daytime temperatures in Hubballi are forecast to be in the mid-30s, making physical endurance a key factor over the five days.
