Jammu and Kashmir have made history by beating Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy again, and this time they’ve done it in Mumbai’s own backyard. This is a huge achievement for the J&K team, and it’s testament to their hard work and dedication.
The match was played at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy BKC in Mumbai, and J&K won by 5 wickets. Mumbai had won the toss and elected to bat first, but they were bowled out for 120 in their first innings. J&K then scored 206 in their first innings, taking a lead of 86 runs.
In their second innings, Mumbai were bowled out for 290, setting J&K a target of 205 to win. J&K then chased down the target with 5 wickets in hand, thanks to some great batting by their top order. Shubham Khajuria scored 45, Yawer Hassan scored 24, and Vivrant Sharma scored 38 to help J&K win the match.
This win is a huge upset, as Mumbai are one of the strongest teams in the Ranji Trophy. But J&K have been playing some great cricket lately, and they deserve all the credit for this win.
The last time J&K beat Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy was in 2014, when they won by 4 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. That was a great win for J&K, and this one is even more special because it’s come in Mumbai’s home ground.
Shardul Thakur was the star of the show for Mumbai, scoring a century in their second innings. But it wasn’t enough to save his team from defeat. Abid Mushtaq and Kanhaiya Wadhawan were the heroes for J&K, as they finished the run chase and helped their team win the match.
This win is a great boost for J&K’s chances in the Ranji Trophy, and they’ll be looking to carry this momentum forward in their upcoming matches.
