Nabi 12-for takes J&K to maiden Ranji semi-final as MP fall short

In a historic achievement, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has advanced to the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy for the first time, thanks to a remarkable 12-wicket haul by bowler Umran Nabi. The match against Madhya Pradesh (MP) saw J&K successfully defend a target of 291 runs, despite a valiant effort from MP's Saransh Jain, who scored 64 runs.

The semi-final appearance marks a significant milestone for J&K cricket, reflecting the region's potential and dedication to the sport. This victory is expected to inspire upcoming players and boost cricketing infrastructure in the area.
