However, Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw flopped miserably in the semi-final match of Ranji Trophy 2024, which does not bode well for Delhi Capitals (DC) before the upcoming IPL 2024. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu won the toss and decided to bat first and this was a huge mistake as their top 5 batsmen flopped badly. Only Vijay Shankar (44 runs) and Washington Sundar (43 runs) could score for Tamil Nadu. Shardul Thakur did not hit Prithvi Shaw’s bat. Apart from these, no other batsman could make any significant contribution and most of the batsmen were out on single digit scores, due to which Tamil Nadu team was able to post only 146 runs on the board at the loss of 10 wickets in the first innings. For Mumbai, Shardul Thakur, Musheer Khan, Tanush Kotian took two wickets each, while Tushar Deshpande took three wickets, while Mohit Awasthi also took one wicket. After this, the start of the Mumbai team, which came to bat, was also nothing special, because opener Prithvi Shaw faced only 9 balls and lost his wicket to Kuldeep Singh after scoring 5 runs. After this, Bhupen Lalwani became the victim of Sai Kishore after scoring 15 runs. Mumbai is in a strong position now However, Musheer Khan managed to score 55 runs in 131 balls, while Mohit Awasthi and Ajinkya Rahane departed with 2 and 19 runs respectively. On the other hand, Sandeep Warrier clean bowled Shreyas Iyer for just three runs, and Hardik Tamore managed to score 35 runs. However, thanks to Shardul Thakur’s century, Mumbai team still remains on top in the match. At present Mumbai has scored 288 runs and have two wickets in their hand.
