With spinners extracting significant turn and bounce exploiting the roughs, Sarwate (3/55) and off-spinner Wakhare (2/42) blew away Saurashtra's top half to seize the momentum.
Fazal was a part of the second-string Indian team that toured Zimbabwe in 2016 and opening the innings for men in blue in his only international game.
Sanjay Ramaswamy and Wasim Jaffer stood unbeaten at nine and 17 respectively to drive Vidarbha to the victory.
Playing in his fifth match of the first season, Wadkar rose to the occasion and remained unbeaten on 133 in a team total of 528 for seven at stumps.
At stumps on the second day, Jaffer was batting on 61 off 120 balls and Akshay Wakhare was yet to open his account, as Vidarbha trailed by 89 runs.
If Vidarbha's dream run ends in a heartbreak at the Holkar Stadium, it would pave the way for Delhi's eighth triumph in the premier domestic tournament - the last coming almost a decade back.
Young Vidarbha pacer Gurbani returned with career-best figures of 7/68 in the second innings and a match-haul of 12/162 in the semifinal of Ranji Trophy to bag the Man of the Match award.
