Mumbai suffered their second successive outright defeat of the season, both incidentally at home, as they were beaten by five wickets by Karnataka inside three days in their Ranji Trophy league encounter at the MCA's BKC complex ground on Sunday.

Going into the third day 85 ahead overall after resuming their second innings at the overnight 109 for five, Mumbai needed to set a challenging target for Karnataka to chase in the fourth innings but failed to do so and the visitors completed the run chase successfully after losing five wickets in quick succession post lunch, to finish on 129 for 5.
