Arch-Rivals Mumbai and Maharashtra are all set for probably their toughest Ranji Trophy game of the season, starting at the Brabourne Stadium today. Their last Elite Group ‘B’ league encounter is a virtual pre-quarter final for both teams. The Ajinkya Rahane-led Mumbai team are placed third with 23 points as Saurashtra lead the group with 26 points followed by Maharashtra (25). Clearly, Mumbai and Maharashtra’s chances to enter the next round will be decided by the outcome of this match.

Adequate practice

Both teams had a good practice session at Cricket Club of India on Monday morning, chalking out plans and counter-strategies for the next four days. While the Maharashtra bowlers practised keeping in mind that they would have to bowl to Sarfaraz Khan, the young in-form batsman was in his hotel room recovering from an illness.
