Ranji Trophy: Shams Mulani’s Seven-for Powers Mumbai To Thrilling 35-run Win Over J&K
Although Auqib Nabi: Left-arm spinner Shams Mulani produced a sensational seven-wicket haul to spin Mumbai to a 35-run victory over Jammu & Kashmir in the opening round of the Ranji Trophy at the Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium in Srinagar on Saturday.
On the fourth and final day of the Elite Group-D clash, the hosts, who resumed at 21 for one overnight while chasing 243, were bowled out for 207 as Mumbai recorded their first-ever win over J&K in three meetings.
Mulani’s match-winning spell of 20.4-4-46-7 underlined his class and composure on a pitch offering variable turn. J&K appeared to be stabilising when Qamran Iqbal and Paras Dogra added 53 runs for the third wicket, but captain Shardul Thakur’s decision to bring on spinners Mulani and Tanush Kotian proved decisive. The introduction of spin shifted momentum decisively in Mumbai’s favour.
