MUMBAI: It began on a sour note when Mumbai's senior team was knocked out of two white-ball tournaments at the league stage, but this season is turning out to be the best one for the domestic giants in recent memory.
A day after Mumbai's Under-25 team qualified for the final of the CK Nayudu Trophy, the city's Under-19 team provided the icing on the cake by making it to the semifinals of the Cooch Behar Trophy. On Thursday, Day 4 of the contest, Mumbai beat Rajasthan in the quarterfinal in Kolkata on the basis of a 58-run first innings lead to make the cut.
