Vidarbha reduced Mumbai to 83-3 in their second innings here at stumps on Day Four on Thursday and the defending champions now need a further 323 to win the semi-final match on the fifth and final day here.
Yash Rathod’s 151 and a dogged half-century from skipper Akshay Wadkar (52) took Vidarbha to 292 all out after resuming the day at 147-4.
Having already amassed a huge lead of 113 runs in the first essay, Vidarbha were able to set a huge target of 406. But Mumbai’s reply did not inspire much confidence.
Ayush Mhatre (18), Siddhesh Lad (2) and Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane (12) perished against spin bowling as Vidarbha tightened the screws on the visitors here.
