Bengaluru, February 26
Shardul Thakur and Balwinder Singh Sandhu’s fine display of bowling injected more drama into the Ranji Trophy semifinal which seems headed for an exciting finish with Mumbai needing 384 runs to dethrone defending champions Karnataka.
Set a daunting target of 445 runs, Mumbai were 61 for no loss at stumps on day two of the semifinal.
Openers Aditya Tare (40) and Akhil Herwadkar (21) were in the middle with Mumbai still needing something special for a remarkable turnaround after they were dismissed for 44 in their first innings. In Kolkata, Dinesh Karthik’s 113 pushed Tamil Nadu to 426/5 against Maharashtra. — PTI
