Mumbai move in for the kill, need 8 wickets

VADODARA: Mumbai are within striking distance of an outright victory against Baroda in the Group 'A' Ranji Trophy match at the Motibaug Ground in Vadodara. Having entered the game as underdogs and in desperate need of a win, Mumbai batted and bowled well on a slow wicket prepared to give Baroda a home advantage. The visitors scored 304 runs for the loss of nine wickets in the second innings, setting a huge target of 407 runs for Baroda.

With the wicket getting slower, the hosts face an uphill task on Sunday. With a decent lead of 103 runs in the bag, Mumbai openers Akhil Herwadkar and Shrideep Mangela gave a good start to the team on Saturday. But Yusuf Pathan broke the 45run partnership in 14th over when he clean bowled Herwadkar. Shrideep fell soon to a quick single as Saurabh Wakaskar took a perfect aim at the stumps to run out the opener. First innings centurion, Mumbai skipper Aditya Tare and Suryakumar Yadav too couldn't add much to the scoreboard. Mumbai were down to 84 for four in 24th over.

But Shreyas Iyer and Siddhesh Lad pulled Mumbai out of trouble by stitching a partnership of 114 for the fifth wicket. The hosts survived a scare when Kedar Devdhar was hit on the back of his head while fielding at short leg. Siddhesh pulled a delivery off Yusuf that struck Kedar at the bottom of his helmet. He complained of dizziness and was taken for a CT scan immediately. The reports were normal, said Baroda coach Tushar Arothe.
