Mumbai vs Rest of India, status of the fourth day’s play

If we tell you about the play of the fourth day of the game, then Rest of India started playing ahead by 289 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. A partnership of 165 runs was seen for the 5th wicket between Abhimanyu Easwaran and Dhruv Jurel, after which Rest of India maintained itself in the match. Easwaran played a brilliant inning of 191 runs and Jurel played a brilliant inning of 93 runs for the team.

However, no other batsman was able to score much runs after this, and Rest of India was all out after 110 overs for a total score of 416 runs, falling behind by 121 runs in reply to Mumbai’s first innings. Talking about Mumbai’s bowling, Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian got 3 wickets each. Apart from this, Mohit Awasthi took 2 wickets and Mohammad Junaid Khan took 1 wicket.

So at the end of the day, Mumbai has scored 153 runs at the loss of 6 wickets after 40 overs in the second innings. Apart from opener Prithvi Shaw (76), no one else could score more runs for the team. Ajinkya Rahane, who batted brilliantly in the first innings, got out cheaply after scoring 9 runs and Shreyas Iyer after scoring 8 runs. The team’s lead has increased to 274 runs.

On the other hand, looking at the current situation of the match, it seems that the match is heading towards a draw. If Rest of India performs brilliantly in bowling on the 5th day of the game, then perhaps they can try to achieve the target quickly by dismissing Mumbai early.

Stumps on Day 4!
