Follow UsJaiswal ton in vain as Maharashtra edge Mumbai in high-scoring thriller
Maharashtra 342/2 (50.0) beat Mumbai 321 all-out (49.0) by 21 runs
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his second ton in as many matches on Thursday, but his 142 went in vain as Mumbai fell 21 runs short of the 343 set by Maharashtra. Prithvi Shaw (32 off 25), Armaan Jaffer (36 off 34) and Tushar Deshpande (24 off 11) all played effective cameos, but lack of sustained support for Jaiswal saw Mumbai fall short. That Maharashtra posted 342/2 in their 50 overs was thanks to Rahul Tripathi, who posted his highest ever List A score (156*).
