Representational Picture

Deepak Chahar once again impressed with a three-wicket haul against Mumbai to guide Rajasthan to a hat-trick of wins, putting them in final contention alongside Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy here yesterday. Rajasthan have 12 points, while Punjab are on eight as the top two teams will clash in a virtual semi-final at Eden Gardens. Electing to bat, Rajasthan rode on Mahipal Lomror's career best 74 in 55 balls to pile 175 for six before Chahar's tidy 3-27 ensured a 17-run win as Mumbai managed 158 for eight in the first match at Eden Gardens.
