Mumbai Vs Uttarakhand Highlights, Vijay Hazare Trophy: Shardul And Co Forge 51-Run Win; Rohit Flops

Good morning cricket buffs! We are back with another live coverage of the Group C clash of the Vijay Hazare Trophy between Mumbai and Uttarakhand in Jaipur. Stay tuned for the live score and play-by-play updates of the match.

The Hitman of Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma, returns to the spotlight after a brutal 155 against Sikkim in Jaipur. The stands were packed last time, and with Rohit back at the crease, expect another full house and plenty of fireworks once again.

Uttarakhand won the toss and opted to bowl first which means a great morning awits for fans in Jaipur as Rohit walks out early.

Mumbai opened their innings with Rohit Sharma and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, but the start was over almost as soon as it began. Rohit was dismissed for a golden duck in the first over, Devendra Bora striking early to send the Mumbai skipper back to the pavilion.

Mumbai are wobbling early here. After Rohit Sharma’s first-over exit, the second opener follows him back soon enough. Angkrish Raghuvanshi hangs around for 20 balls but can’t push on, eventually bowled by Jagmohan Nagarkoti for 11. Two down, pressure firmly on.

Stability comes from Musheer Khan, quietly holding things together with 18 off 21, while Sarfaraz Khan has just walked in and is finding his feet. Mumbai are rebuilding, slowly, after losing both openers before the innings could really take off.

Mumbai are starting to steady after early losses. Musheer Khan is unbeaten on 37 off 40 with five boundaries, gradually finding his rhythm, while Sarfaraz Khan supports well with 21 off 25. At 78/2 after 14 overs, Mumbai are slowly rebuilding and looking to shift momentum back in their favor.

Mumbai’s innings take a hit as Musheer Khan falls for 55 off 56, caught by Suchith J off Mayank Mishra. Sarfaraz Khan is holding one end, unbeaten on 53 off 46, while Siddhesh Lad supports at the other end on 2 off 4, as Mumbai look to rebuild and push their total.

Uttarakhand fight back hard, picking up Musheer Khan and Sarfaraz Khan in quick succession. Mumbai move to 175/4 in 29.2 overs, trying to steady the innings after the earlier wickets fell.

Mumbai get a boost as Hardik Tamore reaches 50 off 54 balls, anchoring the innings with two boundaries. Shardul Thakur, the captain, falls for 29 off 21, caught by Kamal off Yuvraj Choudhary, while Shams Mulani stays unbeaten on 3 off 4, helping Mumbai steady the ship.

Mumbai surge to 322/6 in 48.3 overs with Hardik Tamore inching closer to a century. The wicketkeeper-batter is unbeaten on 91 off 80, finding the gaps regularly with seven boundaries. Shardul Thakur chips in with a brisk 29 off 21 before falling, while Shams Mulani keeps the tempo up at the other end, not out on 46 off 33 as the innings heads toward a big finish.

Mumbai post 331/7 against Uttarakhand, with Hardik Tamore anchoring the innings and finishing unbeaten on 93, narrowly missing out on a maiden List A century.

The innings wobbled after the 107-run partnership between Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan was broken, but Tamore held firm through the middle and late overs, guiding Mumbai to a strong total despite the late stutter.

Uttarakhand begin their chase cautiously. Kamal falls early for 10, caught by Rohit Sharma off Shardul Thakur, giving Mumbai the first breakthrough. Yuvraj Choudhary and captain Kunal Chandela are at the crease, unbeaten on 10 off 16 and 9 off 18 respectively, trying to steady the innings and keep the chase alive. The scoreboard is ticking slowly as they look to build partnerships against a strong Mumbai attack.

Uttarakhand lose a crucial wicket as captain Kunal Chandela is trapped lbw by Onkar Tarmale. The chase takes an early hit, and pressure builds on the remaining batsmen.

Uttarakhand are steady with 202 runs still needed. Yuvraj Choudhary is unbeaten on 61 off 71 with three boundaries and a six, anchoring the innings and keeping his team in the hunt as they look to build a strong partnership.

Yuvraj Choudhary is leading the charge now. He moves to 86 off 87, finding four boundaries along the way, and is inching closer to a century. Uttarakhand are hanging in the chase with their set batter in control, and the focus is firmly on whether Yuvraj can take them deep from here.

Shardul Thakur snares Yuvraj Choudhary, and Musheer Khan then traps Saurabh Rawat in front as Mumbai wrest the initiative. The required run rate is almost nine, and with just four wickets in hand, it is not going to be easy for Uttarakhand.

Musheer Khan picks up his second wicket, having Abhay Negi (11) caught by Shardul Thakur, before Tanush Kotian castles Mayank Mishra. Uttarakhand are now eight down with 73 more runs needed from five overs, and staring at near-certain defeat.

Mumbai win with ease. They limit Uttarakhand to 280 runs for the loss of nine wickets and complete a comprehensive 51-run victory in Jaipur. Shardul Thakur, Onkar Tarmale and Musheer Khan finish with two wickets apiece as Mumbai notch up their second straight win in Group C. It's a second consecutive defeat for Uttarakhand, meanwhile.
