Mumbai take handsome lead against MP
25 Dec 2012 1:36 AM GMT
In a desperate bid to notch up their first outright win this season, Mumbai batsmen batted with lot of purpose as the 39-time champions took their overall lead to 252 against Madhya Pradesh in a group league encounter here today.
Courtesy Wasim Jaffer’s 67 laced with 13 fours and Aditya Tare’s quickfire 42 off 44 balls after being promoted to open the innings, Mumbai finished the day at 191 for five.
This was after Mumbai ensured a 61-run first innings lead by bowling out MP for 244 with the final five wickets falling for 46 runs.
Overnight not out batsman Satyam Chaudhary added three runs to his overnight score of 73 before he was done in by a slower from rival skipper Ajit Agarkar who took a simple return catch.
Former India colts player Harpreet Singh played well for his 50. As of now, Agarkar might go for a sporting declaration which will give his bowlers enough time to enforce an outright result from this game.
