All-rounder Shardul Thakur wants his Mumbai teammates to believe in themselves during tough situations as the defending champions take on Meghalaya in their must-win Elite Group ‘A’ Ranji Trophy match at the MCA-BKC ground today.

The Ajinkya Rahane-led team, currently placed third with 22 points, need to register a big win with a bonus point in their last league game to qualify. However, their place in the quarter-final depends on the outcome of the Jammu & Kashmir (29 points) versus Baroda (27 points) match.
