Unknown Apr 02, 2026 1 Views

Mumbai stormed into the Ranji Trophy semifinals with a commanding 152-run win over Haryana at Eden Gardens. Shardul Thakur was the standout performer, claiming a match haul of 9 wickets, including a pivotal 6/58 in the first innings. His incisive spells dismantled Haryana’s batting lineup, supported by Royston Dias, who bagged his maiden five-wicket haul.

Mumbai recovered from an initial collapse (113/7) thanks to a 165-run stand between Tanush Kotian (97) and Shams Mulani (91), setting up a total of 315. Ajinkya Rahane’s century in his 200th First-Class game and Suryakumar Yadav’s 70 further solidified their position. Defending a target of 354, Mumbai bowled out Haryana for just 201.

The defending champions now face Vidarbha in the semifinals, aiming to repeat their triumph from last season.
