CHENNAI: Lakshay Sangwan’s 3/30 came in handy for Haryana to bag a lead of 174 runs over Mumbai on the third day of the Take Sports All-India Buchi Babu Invitation cricket tournament organized by TNCA held at Coimbatore. Following on Mumbai were 83/2 in 46 overs at stumps.
Earlier, having dismissed Haryana for 419, Mumbai were 133/4 at the start of play on Saturday. However, things went downhill soon enough. Skipper Sarfaraz Khan fell for 37 runs from 95 balls to Aman Kumar, and Himanshu Singh fell shortly after. It triggered a collapse with Suryansh Shedge taking the long walk back to the dressing room. Mumbai were 177/7 but that is when Prasad Pawar and Atharwa Ankolekar stitched a partnership to take them past the 200-run mark. Ankolekar remained not out with a 50-ball 38, but Mumbai eventually fell for 245.
In the second innings, they lost both the openers early with Amit Rana accounting for the two wickets. However, Musheer Khan and Siddhesh Lad put their foot down to grind it out. Musheer, in fact, batted for 117 balls to score 37 runs and remained not out at stumps.
