Ranji Trophy 2024-25: Shorey, Malewar Build Foundation For Vidarbha But Mumbai Strike Late
Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium: Half-centuries by Dhruv Shorey and Danish Malewar provided Vidarbha with a strong foundation on the opening day of their Ranji Trophy semifinal against defending champions Mumbai at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Monday.
However, despite promising starts by a few batters, Vidarbha missed the chance to fully capitalise, ending the day at 308/5 in 88 overs. At stumps, Yash Rathod, the team’s leading run-scorer this season, was unbeaten on 47, while captain Akshay Wadkar remained not out on 13.
The duo safely negotiated the last hour after the set pair of Karun Nair and Malewar fell in quick succession, handing Mumbai a small opening. With bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey, who scored twin fifties in the quarterfinal, still to come, Vidarbha will hope to push towards the 400-run mark — something they failed to do in last year’s final, which ultimately cost them the title.
