Mumbai will be facing Saurashtra in the fifth round of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023. Both sides are placed in Group A and KSCA Cricket (3) Ground in Alur will be hosting this fixture.
Mumbai is the only unbeaten side in Group A. Having won all four games, they are sitting comfortably at the top of the points table. They faced Puducherry in their last game and beat them comprehensively and will be looking to keep performing in a similar fashion.
The bowlers wreaked havoc as they knocked over Puducherry on a paltry total of 67, with Tushar Deshpande and Shams Mulani finishing with four and three wickets respectively. Mumbai lost three wickets while chasing but got across the line in the 13th over.
Saurashtra have won two games so far and lost as many. They lost to Tripura in their third game but bounced back to beat Odisha in their following game. They will be high in confidence after the win and will look to carry forward the winning momentum.
In a low-scoring game in Bengaluru, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja grabbed a fifer which helped Saurashtra dismiss Odisha on 99. Chasing a modest total, Saurashtra lost six wickets but Arpit Vasavada (20*) and Chirag Jani (16*) made sure that they cross the line.
