An interesting match is currently taking place between Mumbai and Saurashtra in the final of Ranji Trophy.

Now Mumbai’s lead over Saurashtra is 260 runs. However, Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw once again flopped. He could score only 11 runs.
Prithvi Shaw did not score runs in both the innings.
Talking about the match, Saurashtra won the toss and asked Mumbai to bat first. Opener Prithvi Shaw was out after scoring a run. After this, Mumbai’s wickets kept falling at regular intervals. Captain Rahane, one of the big players, returned to the pavilion after scoring 7 runs and Shreyas Iyer also returned to the pavilion after scoring 7 runs. The entire team could score only 224 runs. It was good that Shardul Thakur came at the end and played an excellent inning of 75 runs on 69 balls. That’s why Mumbai team could score so much.
Mumbai has a lead of 260 runs over Saurashtra
