VHT: Mulani Claims Maiden Five-for As Mumbai Crush Chhattisgarh By 9 Wickets
Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group: Left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Shams Mulani claimed his maiden List A five-wicket haul as Mumbai registered a comprehensive nine-wicket victory over Chhattisgarh in their Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group C encounter at the Jaipuria Vidyalaya ground on Monday.
After electing to field first in helpful conditions, Mumbai skipper Shardul Thakur dismantled Chhattisgarh's top order by picking four wickets. The right-arm seamer struck twice in the opening over, leaving the opposition reeling at 9/3 inside five overs, before he added the scalps of Ashutosh Singh and Sanjeet Desai – both caught at slip by Sarfaraz Khan – to put Mumbai firmly in control.
Captain Amandeep Khare (50) and Ajay Mandal (46) staged a spirited fightback with a 105-run fifth-wicket stand to guide Chhattisgarh past the 100-run mark. Khare, who notched his third consecutive half-century of the tournament, played with composure before left-arm spinner Mulani broke the partnership by trapping Mandal lbw.
