Forty-one time champions Mumbai are on the verge of securing their second successive thumping win of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season. On Sunday, it was a contest between the Mumbai bowlers, especially left-arm spinner Shams Mulani (6-65 and 3-63) and the Andhra Pradesh batsmen in their Elite Group ‘B’ encounter at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex ground. 

Hosts enforce follow-on

Mulani claimed six scalps to play a key role in bowling out the visitors for just 184. When the hosts enforced the follow-on, he was at it again, claiming three wickets as AP ended Day Three with 164-5 in the second innings. The visitors trail by 47 runs. On Saturday, Mulani sent back  Andhra’s No. 3 Shaik Rasheed (3) and No. 4  Hanuma Vihari (6). He was rewarded for his accuracy and disciplined bowling with another four wickets. His scalps included skipper Ricky Bhui.
