Mumbai: The Ranji Cup Elite B division between Tamil Nadu and Mumbai will begin today in Mumbai. In the current Ranji season, a total of 38 teams are playing in the league round in 5 divisions. In Group B, Tamil Nadu drew with Hyderabad in their first league match and Delhi in their third match. In the 2nd game, they suffered a shock defeat against Andhra Pradesh by 8 runs.
In all these 3 matches, the Tamil Nadu team had a bright chance of winning, but unfortunately, with 2 draws and 1 loss, they have scored only 6 points and are lagging behind at the 6th position. Sai Sudarsan, Narayan Jagatheesan, Aparajith, Vijay Shankar, Vignesh, Ashwin Christ, Sai Kishore, Sandeep are all in form in the Tamil Nadu team led by Indrajith, but the tension in the last phase is giving a big setback. If they don’t play together and get the first win against Mumbai, Tamil Nadu will think about the chance of quarter finals. Can’t even.
At the same time, Mumbai beat Andhra Pradesh by 9 wickets and Hyderabad by 217 runs. Despite losing the 3rd league match against Saurashtra by 48 runs, the team is top of Group B with 13 points. Leading players like Prithvi Shah, Jaiswal, Captain Ragane, Sarbaraz Khan who have played in international and domestic series are waiting to give tough pressure to the Tamil Nadu team. With Mumbai looking to further consolidate their lead on the points table and Tamil Nadu looking for their first win, this match at the Brabourne Stadium is sure to be a very interesting one.
