Mumbai are just 14 runs away from their maiden outright win of the season, thanks to pacers Shardul Thakur (4-47) and Tushar Deshpande (4-53). The hosts bundled out Chhattisgarh for 149 in the second innings on Day Two of the Ranji Trophy Elite Group A game at Wankhede Stadium yesterday.
Chasing a target of 91, the hosts were 77 without loss at stumps. Jay Bista and Vikrant Auti were unbeaten on 36 and 32 respectively. Wankhede's green top witnessed the fall of 17 wickets - all claimed by the pacers of both teams. Resuming on the overnight score of 118 for three, none of the Mumbai batsmen appeared determined to play a long innings.
