Welcome to Sportstar’s Highlights from Day 4 of the Mumbai vs Rest of India Irani Cup 2024-25 match being played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

  • October 04, 2024 17:04
    DAY 4 STUMPS

    MUM 153/6 in 40 overs

    Sarfaraz and Kotian will walk out on the last day for Mumbai. Saransh picked four wickets which allowed Rest of India to claw back in the game. Mumbai leads by 274 runs and would want Sarfaraz and Kotian to bat as long as possible and take the lead beyond ROI’s reach. All ROI needs is four quick wickets on the final day to have a shot at chasing down the target. 

  • October 04, 2024 16:59
    6
    MUM 153/6 in 40 overs

    Sarfaraz hits it to deep backward square leg for a single. SIX! Saransh gets punished by Kotian, goes over long off fence. FOUR! Beats the cover fielder to the ropes. Three dots to end the over. 

  • October 04, 2024 16:51
    MUM 142/6 in 39 overs

    Suthar with the ball. Defended and padded away in the first two. A direct hit by the short leg fielder to the non-striker’s end but Sarafarz had his bat inside. 

    A lot happening this over, the game has come alive. A review for caught behind and lbw but goes against Rest of India. Maiden over. 

  • October 04, 2024 16:42
    MUM 142/6 in 38 overs

    A throw has hit Sarfaraz on his back. Looks like it hurts quite a bit. He is face down on the ground and the physios are taking a look. Is he guilty of obstructing the field? TV umpires are checking. Not out is the decision. 

    Sarfaraz is fit enough to continue. But ROI captain is still discussing with the on-field umpire regarding the decision. Five runs this over, quite a long one.

    What is the highest successful run chase in Irani Cup history?

    Mumbai vs Rest of India: What is the highest successful run chase in Irani Cup history?

  • October 04, 2024 16:33
    MUM 137/6 in 37 overs

    Sarfaraz takes a single off the first. Kotian using defensive shots against Suthar. Through mid-wicket for two runs. Pushes beyond cover for a single. Four runs coming off the over.

  • October 04, 2024 16:30
    MUM 133/6 in 36 overs

    Hugh blow for Mumbai in the previous over. Can Sarfaraz do it again? He has Tanush Kotian at the other end. Three runs off the Kotian’s over. 

    The game-changer for Rest of India is back. Saransh gives away five this over. 

  • October 04, 2024 16:18
    B
    MUM 125/6 in 34 overs

    Shaw is cleaned up by Saransh Jain. Shaw plays this length delivery for the turn but this one passes on straight and hits the off stump. Mumbai is five down and for sure has stuck a foot in the door.

    Prithvi Shaw b Saransh 76(105)

    Shams Mulani walks in next. GONE! He is castled. He shoulders arms to a delivery expecting it to turn away. This one too comes in straight and rearranges the stumps.

    Shams Mulani b Saransh 0(2)

  • October 04, 2024 16:13
    MUM 125/4 in 33 overs

  • October 04, 2024 16:04
    MUM 120/4 in 32 overs

    Just a single from this Suthar over. There’s a stumping appeal too but Sarfaraz is comfortable inside his crease.

    Another economical over for Rest of India. One run from this Saransh Jain over.

  • October 04, 2024 15:56
    MUM 118/4 in 30 overs

    SHAW HAS BEEN GIVEN! Another one from Saransh that turns sharply in to the right hander. Shaw takes a big stride forward to defend and is rapped on the pad. Immediately goes for a review. The ball tracker shows the ball is missing the leg stump. Too much turn on that and Shaw survives.

  • October 04, 2024 15:52
    MUM 117/4 in 29 overs

    Suthar forcing Shaw to play the sweep shot. Three boundary riders on the on side and a short leg and fine leg in place too. Shaw manages a single on the fourth delivery to fine leg.

  • October 04, 2024 15:46
    B
    MUM 115/4 in 28 overs

    OUT! Shreyas Iyer is bowled! He goes deep into his crease looking to create room and cut. The ball keeps low, turns into him, cramps him for space and crashes into the leg stump.

    Shreyas Iyer b Saransh 8(12)

    Does Rest of India sniff a chance here? Sarfaraz is the new man. A wicket maiden for Saransh.

  • October 04, 2024 15:37
    4
    MUM 115/3 in 27 overs

    Shreyas Iyer walks in. Saransh again. Shaw takes a single and gets to 70. Shreyas gets off the mark immediately, drives to the off-side for two runs. 

    A late cut by Shreyas Iyer against Suthar to pick FOUR runs. A single to square leg to finish the over.

  • October 04, 2024 15:36
    MUM 106/3 in 25 overs

    OUT! It looked like another quiet over but Rahane moved forward to sweep the ball. Missed it and hit him plum on the pads. Umpire gives it out but Rahane reviews, in vain.

    Ajinkya Rahane lbw b Suthar 9 (27)

  • October 04, 2024 15:22
    MUM 105/2 in 24 overs

    Just a single off the first ball. Suthar keeping it tight while Shaw defends most balls.

    A maiden for Saransh followed by a three-run over from Suthar. 

    Pushes to long-on for a single. Just the run off of Saransh’ over. 

  • October 04, 2024 15:14
    MUM 100/2 in 20 overs

    Another great over from Suthar. Bowls a no-ball, the only run coming off the over. 

    Rahane hits it down to fine leg for a single. Shaw tries to sweep the ball but a deep square leg is in place. Saransh gives away three runs. Brings up the 100 for Mumbai.

    Four dots to start the over. Suthar gives away only one run.

  • October 04, 2024 14:38
    W
    MUM 85/2 in 15 overs

    OUT! Tamore is caught behind. Extra bounce for Suthar from a good length. A bit of purchase too. The ball jumps onto Tamore who cannot take his bat out of the way in time.

    Hardik Tamore c Jurel b Suthar 7(26)

    That will bring Tea as well. 

    Rahane is the new batter. 

  • October 04, 2024 14:34
    MUM 84/1 in 14 overs

    Shaw gets two runs on this first delivery of Saransh’s over. An outside edge next, runs past first slip and allows him two runs. DROPPED! Tamore edges trying to push the ball down the ground but the Abhimanyu Easwaran lets it slip through his hands.

    50
    MUM 76/1 in 12 overs

    Two singles in the next over from Suthar. The left arm orthodox is bowling outside the leg stump line. Presumably searching for the rough. No trouble for Tamore in dealing with it.

    FOUR! Shaw late cuts Saransh and gets to his fifty in 37 balls. A single on the third delivery to deep point.

  • October 04, 2024 14:14

  • October 04, 2024 14:08
    MUM 55/1 in 8 overs

    OUT! Mhatre is stumped. Saransh sends a flighted delivery, Mhatre transfers his weight on the front foot for a drive which leads his back foot to drag out of the crease. Jurel is prompt in removing the bails.

    Ayush Mhatre st Jurel b Saransh 14(18)

    Hardik Tamore at No. 3. Three singles in the over.

  • October 04, 2024 13:57

    Four byes. Keeps low and beats thew batter and the keeper. A no ball in the over as well. Eight runs from the over.

    Manav Suthar from the other end. Shaw gets a FOUR through fine leg. The ball drifts towards the leg stump and Shaw accepts the gift.

  • October 04, 2024 13:52
    4
    MUM 40/0 in 5 overs

    Mukesh starts the next over with a wide. FOUR! Shaw uses the bounce and parries the ball over the slip cordon. Runs coming thick and fast. FOUR more! Width on offer and Shaw drills it through covers. Shaw helps the fifth delivery, angling down leg, on its way to the fine leg boundary. A single to end the over and retain strike.

    MUM 26/0 in 4 overs

    FOUR! Sweet noise off the bat as Shaw drives it to the off-side fence. Five runs off Mukesh’s second over.

    ROI 416 in 110 overs

    DROPPED! Rahane drops it at first slip. An expensive mistake as Dayal smashes the next ball for a SIX! Sweeps it over mid-wicket fence. OUT! Miscommunication between the batters. Kotian quickly picks up the ball and throws it to the keeper to get Dayal out. 

    Yash Dayal run out (Kotian/†Tamore) 6 (5)

    Mukesh Kumar c & b Kotian 0 (2)

  • October 04, 2024 13:05
    ROI 410/7 in 109 overs

    Bit of a fumble in the field. An overthrow gives an extra run away but the batter looked like he managed to reach the bowler’s end safely. Umpires check it just to be sure.

    Review goes ROI’s way but MUM had a chat with the umpires as the bat seemed just short of the line. Nevertheless, play continues. 

    Four runs off the over. 

  • October 04, 2024 12:47

    ROI 406/7 in 108 overs

    FOUR! Suthar gets it between first slip and silly point to the fence. Huge shout for lbw! Rahane not taking the review. 

  • October 04, 2024 12:04
    Lunch, Day 4: ROI 400/6 in 104 overs

    111 runs in the session would have been pretty good for Rest of India until they lost Dhruv Jurel and Abhimanyu Easwaran to Shams Mulani in quick succession. Tails up for Mumbai heading into Lunch. RoI still has 137 runs to cover, which looks difficult to manage against Mumbai’s spin duo.

    We’ll be back in another 40 minutes.

  • October 04, 2024 12:01
    The big wicket!
