Yashashvi scores 41 but Mumbai win curtailed game vs Baroda

Thumba, Dec 9 (Cricket news) Vishnu Solanki's attractive 94 went in vain as Mumbai beat Baroda by 13 runs via VJD method in a rain-hit Group B game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Friday.

Batting first, Baroda scored 210 in 49.1 overs with Solanki hitting 11 fours and two sixes in his innings. However, it was Mumbai's slow bowlers — off-break bowler Tanush Kotian (3/44) and leg-spinner Prashant Solanki (3/61), who shared the spoils among them.

Krunal Pandya (7) was a notable failure for Baroda.

In reply, Mumbai were 100 for 3 in 23 overs when rain stopped play and as per VJD rule, the par score at that time needed to be 88. Mumbai were 12 more and Jaiswal's patient knock of 41 ensured that the defending champions were above par.

A lot of credit must go to Suryakumar Yadav who was out for 14 but his three boundaries in nine-ball stay actually made the difference before he got out off the last delivery of the 20th over. By then, Mumbai had already achieved above par score.

In another rain-curtailed match at Mangalapuram, Puducherry beat Bengal by eight runs via VJD method wen rain stopped play.

Bengal scored 264 for 8 with Shahbaz Ahmed scoring 85 off 60 balls and then Puducherry were 132 for 2 after 30 overs with the par score being 124 and they were eight runs above it.
