Ranji Trophy Defending Champions Mumbai have a huge task ahead on the final day of the Group A match against Haryana as they will be needing 39 runs to win the match.
Sachin Tendulkar remains unbeaten on 55. Dhawal Kulkarni is the other unbeaten batsman. Tendulkar has been running out of partners on Fay Four.
The only game Tendulkar has played against Haryana is in 1991 which they ended up losing the game by two runs.
That day Tendulkar scored 96 quick runs before playing a rash shot against Yogendra Bhandari. At Lahli he has looked composed. Will he take Mumbai past the finish line?
