Paceman Shardul Thakur and off-spinner Akhil Herwadkar shared six wickets between them as Mumbai eked out a narrow four-run win over Baroda in their West Zone match in the Vijay Hazare trophy, here today.
Thakur (3/39) polished off the top order while Herwadkar ran away with the lower order as Mumbai successfully defended a modest total of 201, bundling out the rivals for 197 in 47.1 overs at Sardar Patel Stadium C Ground.
Baroda did everything right after winning the toss as the bowlers did a tremendous job by skittling out Mumbai for a very manageable total.
Baroda off-spinner Deepak Hooda wreaked havoc with a five-for, breaking the back of the Mumbai batting order.
Sarfraz Khan top scored for Mumbai with his unbeaten 41-run knock while Mumbai skipper Suryakumar Yadav contributed 40 runs. However, Yadav and veteran Wasim Jaffer (37) could not convert their knocks into big ones.
Aditya Waghmode did a fantastic job for Baroda, coming up with a 69-run knock before being caught off Thakur. However the other batsmen failed to resist the rival attack and only Deepak Hooda offered some fight, batting at number six.
