Mumbai Pacers Roar Back Against Karnataka

In a dramatic turn of events during the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal, Mumbai's fast bowlers Mohit Avasthi and Tushar Deshpande orchestrated a stunning collapse of the Karnataka batting lineup. After Mumbai faltered in their first innings, Avasthi claimed figures of 4 for 27, and Deshpande took 4 for 33, restricting Karnataka to a mere 173 runs.

Karnataka, once comfortably placed at 110 for two, saw their batting order crumble, losing eight wickets for just 63 runs in the face of disciplined bowling. Mayank Agarwal stood as a lone warrior, scoring 92 runs before being dismissed, but could not prevent the team's total collapse. This resilience from Mumbai's pacers put them firmly back in contention.

Responding to Karnataka's modest total, Mumbai's batsmen showed greater resolve. Akash Anand remained unbeaten on 53, supported by Musheer Khan who was 49 not out, as they guided Mumbai to 189 for two by the close of play on day two. This performance secured a significant lead of 136 runs, placing Mumbai in a commanding position in the quarterfinal clash.
