The Mumbai U-19 team will have to come up with a remarkable performance against Haryana in Kolkata today to clinch the Cooch Behar Trophy final.

Haryana (77-1 in their second innings) will look to boost their overall lead of 211 and put the Musheer Khan-led outfit under pressure. In reply to Haryana's first innings total of 437, Mumbai openers - Angkrish Raghuvanshi (97, 20x4) and Aayush Jethwa (42, 5x4) resumed the day on the overnight score of 117 for no loss. However, Jethwa got out after adding just five runs to his overnight score. Raghuvanshi, who was unbeaten on 68 at the start of Day Three, failed to counter pacer Garv Sangwan's swing and edge one to wicketkeeper Sarvesh Rohilla. Apart from the opening pair's contribution, middle-order batsman Omkar Malekar (31, 4x4) and No.9 Arjun Dani (41, 8x4) showed some resistance as Mumbai were bowled out for 303. Sangwan claimed five for 41 for Haryana,.

Haryana opener Mayank Shandilya and one-drop Ahaan Poddar were batting on 29 and 17 respectively.
