Cuttack: Mumbai produced a disciplined bowling display to notch up a comprehensive six-wicket victory over Odisha in a weather-hit Group D Twenty20 match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here today.
Electing to field, Mumbai dismissed Odisha for a paltry 91 in 17.4 overs and then returned to overhaul the target in just 15.5 overs in a match that was reduced to 18 overs a side due to inclement weather.

Mumbai rode on the innings by Aditya Tare (32) and Siddhesh Lad (31 not out) to romp home with 13 balls to spare at the Barabati Stadium.
Earlier, Dhawal Kulkarni (2/17), Shardul Thakur (2/11), Rohan Raje (2/18), Abhishek Nayar (2/21) and Pravin Tambe
