Shreyas Iyer’s 51-ball 86 run blitzkrieg helped Mumbai sail past a tall Vidarbha total to notch up a five-wicket win in the Super League phase of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20.

Chasing Vidarbha’s score of 181 for four, built mainly around opener Jignesh Sharma’s punishing knock of 56 off just 30 balls, Mumbai cantered home in 18.5 overs to register their second straight victory in as many days in the tournament, at the Wankhede Stadium.

Brief scores: Vidarbha 181/4 in 20 overs (Jitesh Sharma 56, Akhil Wankhede not out 36, U Patel not out 31; S Trivedi 2 for 44) lost to Mumbai 182/5 in 18.5 overs (Shreyas Iyer 86, Aditya Tare 41; Ravi Thakur 2-32).

Delhi outplay Jharkhand

Delhi outplayed Jharkhand by five wickets for their first win in the Super League stage of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, riding on Nitesh Rana’s unbeaten half-century to pull things back after being precariously placed at one stage.

Brief scores: Jharkhand 134-7 in 20 Overs (Virat Singh 45, Ishank Jaggi 42; Parvinder Awana 3-28, Manan Sharma 2-28) lost to Delhi 138-5 in 18 Overs (Nitish Rana 60*, Dhruv Shorey 30; Varun Aaron 3-27)

Gomez helps Kerala shock Baroda and stay alive

Raiphi Gomez smashed an unbeaten 47 off 21 balls with three sixes and as many fours to guide Kerala to a shock four-wicket victory over two-time former champions Baroda in the Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament.

Gomez’s whirlwind, unbroken partnership of 45 off just 17 balls for the seventh wicket with Prashanth Padmanabhan, who remained not out on 17 after hitting two successive sixes off Munaf Patel in the 19th over, enabled Kerala to chase down Baroda’s total of 160 for 6, with two balls to spare, at the Wankhede Stadium.
