For the second consecutive year, domestic giants Mumbai have failed to reach the knockout stage of the Ranji Trophy.
On Friday, the 41-time champions put up a valiant effort but that was not enough for an outright win against Saurashtra at the SCA Stadium in Rajkot. Setting Saurashtra a target of 290 in 74 overs, Mumbai, who were a bowler short due to pacer Tushar Deshpande's knee injury, still managed to put the Saurashtra batsmen under the pump on the fourth and final day.
