Fifty five runs required, a set batsman with a half century and six wickets in hand. Saurashtra had everything going for them in their 285-run target on the final day of their Ranji Trophy game against Mumbai. But pacer Minad Manjrekar (4-39) turned the match in Mumbai's favour with his twin strikes in the 63rd over.
The lanky pacer had well-set Sheldon Jackson, who was again dismissed off a short ball, for 57. On the penultimate ball of his over, Manjrekar sent back Prerak Mankad (24) with a short ball, putting Saurashtra's chase in jeopardy after Vishvarajsinh Jadeja (71) and Jackson stitched a 113-run stand for the fourth wicket to lay the foundation.
