This week of the Ranji Trophy will probably be more interesting and keep the fans on their toes as the first day of the local event saw both sides in all the matches give commendable performances both with the bat and ball.
The four-day game between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s domestic giants Mumbai and Bengal saw players from both sides give a resilient performance, as Bengal managed to nab seven wickets, while Mumbai secured 262 runs at stumps in the match that is being played at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Mumbai’s KR Pawar was the first casualty, as he was caught behind off Saxena after scoring only 15 runs.
HN Shah was disappointing as he fell on a duck when he was caught behind off Shukla.
Mumbai felt the heat when they lost their third wicket of the day with only 46 runs on the board as Shukla dismissed Mumbai skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309 for only a run.
