Bihar recorded the second-highest margin of victory, in terms of runs, with their 397-run win over Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate 2025-26 clash at the JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi on Wednesday.
The highest still remains Tamil Nadu’s 435-run victory over Arunachal Pradesh during the 2022/23 season in Bengaluru.
English county and international cricket also feature prominently on this list, with Somerset defeating Devon by 346 runs in 1990, and England thrashing South Africa by 342 runs in Southampton in 2025. Indian domestic teams like Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh have registered substantial wins as well, with India’s 317-run victory over Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram standing out at the international level.

How Bihar Made History?
Bihar delivered a batting performance for the ages, breaking the men’s List A record for the highest team total by amassing a staggering 574 for 6 in 50 overs against Arunachal Pradesh in a Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate match. This remarkable innings surpassed the previous record of 506/2 set by Tamil Nadu against the same opponents in 2022, and England’s 498/4 earlier that year.
Three magnificent centuries, along with 49 fours and 38 sixes, highlighted Bihar’s innings, maintaining a run rate of 11.48 throughout the 50 overs.
The standout performer was teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who at just 14 years and 272 days became the youngest player to score a hundred in men’s List A cricket. He raced past this milestone, achieving the fastest 150 in men’s List A history off just 59 balls, before being dismissed for a breathtaking 190 off 84 deliveries, featuring 16 fours and 15 sixes.
Vaibhav received excellent support from the middle order. Captain Sakibul Gani played a blistering, unbeaten knock of 128 off just 40 balls, smashing 10 fours and 12 sixes, finishing the innings with brutal efficiency. Wicketkeeper-batter Ayush Loharuka scored a commanding 116 off 56 balls, hitting 11 fours and 8 sixes, as Arunachal Pradesh’s bowlers struggled to contain the onslaught. In reply, Arunachal Pradesh were bundled out for just 177.
