The last phase of the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season is set to get underway next week. Here's the full list of fixtures remaining in the competition.
The 2024-25 domestic season is on a roll with Mumbai bagging the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after being buoyed by the presence of international T20 superstars like Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane, and the current Indian captain for the T20I format, Suryakumar Yadav.
The ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy will be decided on Saturday as Mayank Agarwal’s Karnataka takes on Karun Nair’s Vidarbha to lift the prestigious One-Day tournament trophy. After the conclusion of the 50-over tournament, the focus will shift back to the Ranji Trophy which returns after a hiatus of more than two months.

Baroda, Jammu & Kashmir, and Mumbai are involved in a three-horse race for the top two spots in Group A. While Mumbai has a relatively easier last fixture against pointless Meghalaya, the team from the north will face its two rivals Baroda and Mumbai in a bid to stay in the race for the knockouts.
Vidarbha is the outright favorite for the top spot in Group B with Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan vying for the second spot. Group C is as open as it can get with Haryana, Kerala, Bengal, Karnataka, and Punjab in the reckoning for the top two spots.

The knockout phase will kick off on February 8 with the final taking place between February 26 and March 2.
