Shaw Factor Makes Mumbai Favorites In Vijay Hazare Trophy Final

India discard Prithvi Shaw, who was axed from the India squad after poor performances in Australia but has since then struck form in domestic cricket, will be the star attraction when Mumbai take on U

UP's batting will find it difficult against a Mumbai bowling that boasts of former India internationals Shivam Dube and Dhawal Kulkarni. UP will be missing the services of Bhuvneshwar Kumar who is on India duty and had played only in the league stages of the tournament.

Mumbai are yet to concede 300 in the entire tournament whereas they have managed to breach the 300-run mark four times out of the four occasions they have batted first. They also managed to put 457 on one occasion, against Puducherry.

Uttar Pradesh have just one score of 300 out of three times they have batted first in the tournament.

UP's net run rate of 1.559 in the group stages was also inferior to Mumbai's 2.603 and unlike Mumbai, who have been unbeaten, UP lost a game in the league stage.
