Chhattisgarh Vs Mumbai LIVE Score, Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26: Amandeep Khare, Ajay Mandal Hold Firm | CHA 89/4 (24.0)

After the early carnage, Amandeep Khare and Ajay Mandal are showing grit and determination, slowly rebuilding the innings. Khare is steady on 46 off 74, while Mandal supports with 33 off 51, both picking up five boundaries each. It’s a survival act against a relentless attack, and this partnership is keeping the side’s hopes alive.

Chhattisgarh are still standing, somehow, against Mumbai’s relentless bowling assault. Amandeep Khare, leading from the front, is grinding it out with a patient 19 off 35, soaking up pressure and refusing to give his wicket away.

At the other end, Ajay Mandal is hanging in too, picking up the odd boundary in his 9 off 17. It’s not pretty and it’s not quick, but after that brutal start, this partnership is all about survival against a lethal Mumbai attack.

Mumbai have stormed out of the blocks and Chhattisgarh are already in deep trouble at 14 for 4 in 4.4 overs. Shardul Thakur has ripped through the top order, removing A G Tiwary for a duck, then Ashutosh Singh, Mayank Verma, and Sanjeet Desai in a brutal opening spell that’s left the batting shell-shocked.

Every wicket has felt inevitable, with edges flying and catches sticking. Amandeep Khare is hanging in as captain, while Ajay Mandal has at least found a boundary to steady things slightly, but make no mistake, Mumbai are completely on top and Chhattisgarh are wobbling badly already.
