In this match, the coin toss was decided in favor of Rituraj Gaikwad. Rituraj guessed Lucknowโs Ekana Cricket Stadium and decided to bowl first
Mumbaiโs Early Struggles and Middle-Order Rescue
Mumbaiโs innings started badly in this match. The leading three batsmen were quickly dismissed. So the responsibility came to the middle level. Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, and Hardik Tamore were dismissed cheaply. Hardik could not even open an account. The situation was 3 for 37 runs. In such a situation, the partnership of captain Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer became important. The duo shared a 102-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Shreyas Iyer was dismissed for 57 off 84 balls with 6 fours and 2 sixes. Yash Dayal showed him the way to the tent.
After Shreyas Iyerโs dismissal, Ajinkya Rahane continued his tough innings. A good partnership with Sarfaraz Khan for the fifth wicket. Ajinkya Rahane has marched towards the century. Sarfaraz Khan has completed his half-century. So it has to be said that the first day was dominated by the Mumbai batsmen. Mukesh Kumar bowled well in the first session. Then Yash Dayal broke the big partnership by dismissing Shreyas Iyer. Apart from this the famous Krishna, Manav Suthar, and Samsara Jain did not get success.
Playing XI for Both Teams
Mumbai: Prithvi Shaw, Ayush Mhatre, Shreyas Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Sarfaraz Khan, Hardik Tamore (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, M Junaid Khan, Mohit Awasthi.
