Placed fourth in the points table, Mumbai - coming off a victory against Maharashtra in their previous match - got off to a shaky start, losing two quick wickets: opener Ayush Mhatre (4) and Siddhant Addhatrao (5). They were struggling at 13 for two.
Opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi (28) and skipper Ajinkya Rahane (35) formed a 54-run partnership, but their successive dismissals reduced Mumbai to 87 for four.
Shedge then shifted the momentum, adding 70 runs with Siddhesh Lad (29) and another 85 with Mulani.
For Tripura, Manisankar Murasingh (2-75) and Abhijit K Sarkar (2-30) each took two wickets, while Parvez Sultan claimed one.
Meanwhile, in Vadodara, table-toppers Baroda skittled out Odisha for 193 in 65 overs, riding on a five-wicket haul from spinner Mahesh Pithiya.
Biplab Samantray was the top-scorer for Odisha with a 132-ball 58, while Shantanu Mishra added 23 and Aasirwad Swain hit 37. At stumps, Baroda, who have won both their matches so far, reached 50 for one.
