It became 91\/3 as Shams Mulani cleaned up Samarth.Debutant Rohan Kadam (21) and skipper Karun Nair (10) brought the side on the cusp of a win when Attarde removed Kadam. Sarfaraz was playing a responsible knock as he kept on increasing Mumbai\u2019s lead, but was falling short of partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left-arm pacer Prateek Jain grabbed all the wickets in the morning session as he ran through the Mumbai\u2019s lower order. Attarde\u2019s resistance came to an end, after he edged a short-pitched ball in the slip cordon with Mumbai at 134\/6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nair praised his bowlers for restricting Mumbai in the second innings and also said the target was \u201cgettable\u201d. He also said in low-scoring game, any lead is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also praised Padikkal and Sharath for their knocks.Mumbai captain Suryakumar Yadav said they failed as a unit.He also said that when he got out Shaw approached him to bat, but they did not take the risk, as he even could not lift his plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen I saw him it was not that good. Even after me getting out, he came upto me and the manager, that I would love to bat. But we had a word with physio and the coach and it was not looking that good. We did not want to get it more severe. The physio had to take that call\u2026 when we he was having his lunch, he was not able to lift his plate,\u201d said Surya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
