After collecting 14 points from two convincing wins at the start of the Ranji Trophy season, Siddhesh Lad-led Mumbai will aim for another outright victory when they take on Haryana at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex ground today.
India pacer Shardul Thakur, who is recovering from a finger injury, will have to wait a few more days before returning to action, with Rajesh Pawar-led Mumbai’s senior selection committee retaining the same squad that featured against Himachal Pradesh in the previous game.
