It was dubbed as the Maha Derby, the fight between State’s two biggest cricketing cities. It was compared to the Manchester derby played in the English Premier League earlier this week. Just going by the scorecard, it was a game where not even 250 runs were scored in two innings. But one had to be at the stadium to believe that even a 120-run chase can be as thrilling as a 200-plus chase.
