KOLKATA: It's a story Mumbai seem to be telling everyone too frequently this season. The top order is in disorder, the new ball is doing all the tricks and the lower order is rising to the challenge and rescuing the team.
There was no exception at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. The defending champions were staring down the barrel at 101 for six at lunch on Day I of their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal clash against Haryana here on Saturday. But Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian pulled them out of the woods, stitching together a 165-run eighth-wicket stand that saw them end the day at 278 for eight.
