Baroda push Mumbai out of SMAT in Punjab

Ajinkya Rahane

Mumbai's star-studded batting line-up didn't measure up as Baroda cruised to a three-wicket victory with more than an over to spare in quarter-final at the newly constructed Mullanpur Stadium, Punjab.

Batting first, Yashasvi Jasiwal (8) was out cheaply while Ajinkya Rahane (13 off 11 balls) had another poor outing as Mumbai managed a below-par 148-8 in 20 overs.

Rahane has scored 175 runs in eight games this season with a top score of 76 not out coming in opening encounter against Haryana.

In reply, Baroda stuttered a bit but seasoned Vishnu Solanki (49 not out off 30 balls) performed despite not too many people around him to support.

That the total wasn't big enough was an advantage as he hit five fours and two huge sixes to seal the issue for Baroda.
