Coming back to the match, having won the toss, Mumbai opted to bat first. The home team got off to a flyer as they raced to 37/0 after 3.5 overs. But Mumbai failed to capitalize on the good start they got as they lost some quick wickets and were left reeling at 61/6 after 10 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav, Siddhesh Lad, Shivam Dube and Shams Mulani were dismissed for ducks. Jayant Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets to his name whereas Arun Chaprana and Yuzvendra Chahal bagged one scalp each. Sarfaraz Khan is currently at the crease and  has a herculean task to guide Mumbai to a competitive total. Mumbai will look to get close to 150 whereas Haryana will want to wrap the home side's tail quickly.
