Raipur: Riding on middle-order batsman Siddhesh Lad’s (101 not out) unbeaten ton, Mumbai reached 250\/5 at stumps on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy quarter-final cricket clash against Hyderabad at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium here on Friday.<\/p>\n
At stumps, senior all-rounder Abhishek Nayar (46 not out) was at the crease with centurion Siddhesh.<\/p>\n
Electing to bat after winning the toss, Mumbai were off to a pathetic start losing four quick wickets for a mere 34 on the board until Siddhesh and skipper Aditya Tare (73) forged a 105-run fifth wicket stand to get the side back on track.<\/p>\n
For Hyderabad, pacer Chama Milind was the pick of the bowlers taking three wickets while fellow medium pacer Mohammed Shiraj took two wickets.<\/p>\n
The Mumbai batsmen found the going tough on a pitch which assisted some movement early on which the Hyderabad pacers capitalised by sending back the top four cheaply.<\/p>\n
Mumbai’s woes started from the 10th over when Milind accounted for opener Kevin Almeida (9) and one-down batsman Shreyas Iyer (0) in a span of two deliveries.<\/p>\n
Suryakumar Yadav (5), who joined opener Praful Waghela (13) also failed to provide any kind of resistance and soon departed off the bowling of Siraj.<\/p>\n
Reduced to 19\/3, Mumbai skipper Tare walked into the middle but then Milind once again struck to break Waghela’s 63-ball defence.<\/p>\n
Waghela’s dismissal brought in Siddhesh, who along with Tare stabilised the innings with some cautious batting to take Mumbai to 139.<\/p>\n
However, Siraj once again brought Hyderabad back into the hunt by removing Tare after his 148-ball vigil, which contained 14 hits to the fence.<\/p>\n
Nayar then joined Siddhesh, who was nearing his fourth first class ton and the duo used all their experience to put up an undefeated 111-run sixth wicket stand to take Mumbai to 250\/5 at stumps.<\/p>\n
