Mumbai pressed hard for a second consecutive innings victory and the additional point to go with it on Day Three of their Ranji Trophy Group ‘D’ encounter against Puducherry on Tuesday. They will still get it on Wednesday.

“We tried to finish it off today [Tuesday] but now we will try to finish it off in the first session on Wednesday by bowling a disciplined line. Our plan in the second innings was to attack as much as possible. In the first, we wanted to contain as much as possible,” said Mumbai left-arm spinner Shams Mulani. Two home-grown Mumbai boys, Aman Khan (86, 44b, 6x4, 8x6) and Sidhaanth Aadhhathrao (51 54b, 9x4), playing for Puducherry, stretched the match to the fourth and final day as the visitors went into stumps at the Wankhede Stadium on 231-6 in their second innings, still needing another 267 runs to avoid an innings defeat.
