SMAT: Rahane’s Stellar 98 Leads Mumbai To Final
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ajinkya Rahane delivered a near-perfect performance with a brilliant 98 off 56 balls and helped Mumbai beat Baroda by six-wickets in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) semifinal to reach the final for the second time.
Batting first, Baroda set the target of 159 runs with the help of Krunal Padnya's 30 off 24 and Shivalik Sharma's unbeaten 36. In response, Mumbai chased down the target in 17.2 overs, courtesy of Rahane's 98, laced with five sixes and 11 boundaries, and Shreyas Iyer's 46.
Put into bat under overcast conditions, Baroda began positively, with Krunal Pandya (30) and Shashwat Rawat (33) adding 73 runs in the first nine overs after Abhimanyusingh Rajput fell early on 9. However, Suryansh Shedge’s dismissal of Pandya triggered a dramatic collapse, as Baroda slumped from 73/1 to 103/6.
