Baroda Leads by 76 Runs Against Mumbai

In the Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Baroda, Baroda took a commanding position with a 76-run lead on Day Two after dismissing Mumbai for 214, thanks to exceptional bowling by Bhargav Bhatt and Akash Maharaj Singh. Bhatt took crucial wickets, including Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane, as Mumbai's innings collapsed after a promising start. Earlier, on Day One, a resilient 130-run partnership between Mitesh Patel (86) and Atit Sheth (60 not out) rescued Baroda from a precarious 90 for five to finish at 241 for six. Mumbai's bowlers, including Shardul Thakur and Tanush Kotian, initially dominated but could not prevent Baroda's recovery. The match is being played at the Kotambi International Cricket Stadium, which has provided a challenging pitch with significant turn and bounce.
