A six-wicket haul from Shrikant Mundhe sent Maharashtra on their way to a nine-wicket win against Rajasthan in Pune
A counter-attacking partnership for the seventh wicket between Chirag Khurana and Shrikant Mundhe lifted Maharashtra from a position of uncertainty to one of parity after a gripping day
At 117 for 6 in 50 overs, Rajasthan had dug themselves into a hole. However, a fighting century from Puneet Yadav and an equally gritty effort from Aristh Singhvi saved immediate embarrassment
Rajasthan lost six wickets "unexpectedly", Man-of-the-Match Shrikant Mundhe said, giving Maharashtra the push to go for the win
After Rajasthan and Maharashtra both turned their Ranji campaigns around with big wins in the previous round, Pankaj Singh and Rohit Motwani, the two captains, conceded that seamers were likely to play a key role ahead of the teams' Group B clash in Pune
